4th suspect in Richmond woman’s murder arrested overnight

YORK, Va. (WWBT) - A fourth suspect allegedly involved in the murder of a Richmond woman last weekend is now in police custody.

The York-Poquoson Sheriff’s Office said 20-year-old Jayquan Jones was arrested in Richmond yesterday evening.

He has been charged with second-degree murder and conspiracy to commit a felony.

In the early morning of May 6, a runner found 25-year-old Ty’osha Mitchell shot to death on the side of Old Williamsburg Road.

The Sheriff’s Office said Mitchell had been shot eight times.

In Wednesday’s press conference, police say witnesses heard gunshots around 3:45 a.m., leading investigators to believe she was taken from Richmond early in the morning.

York-Poquoson Sheriff Ron Montgomery said in the conference deputies arrested three people in connection to Mitchell’s murder Wednesday afternoon.

24-year-old Jamica Langley of Richmond, 18-year-old Acacia Jackson of Norfolk and 24-year-old Hezekiah Janile Carney (also known as H.K.) of Norfolk were arrested in the 400 block of Water Street in Portsmouth.

Jones is currently being held in Richmond City Jail.
