In the early morning hours of Friday, October 12, 2018, the life of 32-year-old Levon Sales Jr., a male, was tragically cut short in Little Rock, Arkansas. Officers responded to a call at the Oakridge Apartments located in the 6200 block of Mabelvale Cut Off Road. Upon their arrival, they discovered Mr. Sales lying in the driveway of the apartment complex, suffering from a gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The investigation into the death of Levon Sales Jr. led detectives to identify 18-year-old Kenneth Wilson as a suspect. On Thursday, November 1, 2018, Mr. Wilson voluntarily surrendered to the authorities. He was subsequently charged with first-degree murder and taken to the Pulaski County Regional Jail. The investigation did not end with his arrest, as further inquiries revealed the involvement of another individual.
As the case progressed, police determined that 23-year-old Jacquelynn Jones was also connected to the incident. An arrest warrant was issued for her, charging her with Hindering Apprehension or Prosecution. On December 10, 2018, Ms. Jones was taken into custody and transported to the Pulaski County jail. The motive for the shooting was not immediately made public. Levon Sales Jr.'s body was sent to the Arkansas State Crime Laboratory for an autopsy to aid in the ongoing investigation.
