The names of three young adults shot Friday night in a southwest Little Rock triple homicide were released in a press conference Saturday.

Kennelle Anderson, Latija Lucky and Carrington Williams, all born in 1998 or 1999, were found shot in a wrecked, black Jeep Renegade at approximately 10:45 p.m. near 4405 W. 14th St., interim Chief Alice Fulk said at a press conference Saturday. Williams died at the scene. Lucky and Anderson died after being transported to a local hospital.

The shooting came less than a day after the shooting death of 44-year-old Corey Jackson, who was found dead in the doorway of a residence at 3109 W. 17th St. at approximately 3 a.m. Friday, Fulk said.

No suspects have been identified in either shooting.
