Third Suspect Arrested in Fonticello/Carter Jones Park Homicide

From RPD:

The Richmond Police Department, with the assistance of the United States Marshals Regional Task Force, have arrested a third person in connection to the Fonticello/Carter Jones Park homicide in which nine year old Markiya Dickson was fatally wounded and two others were injured.

Jesus Turner, 20, of the 3100 block of South Street, Chesterfield County was arrested yesterday morning by members of the U.S. Marshals Regional Fugitive Task Force. His booking photo is attached. He has been charged with the following:

• Murder,
• Two counts of Malicious Wounding
• Three counts of the Use of a Firearm in the Commission of a Felony

Two other individuals, Jermaine Davis, 21, of the 4500 block of Millenbeck Road and Quinshawn Betts, 18 of the 4500 block of Millenbeck Road, were arrested back in October in connection to the case.

The shootings occurred during the evening of Sunday, May 26 during a festival at Fonticello/Carter Jones Park in the 2700 block of Bainbridge Street. Detectives have determined that Davis, Turner, and Betts were involved in an exchange of gunfire in the park in which Dickson and a juvenile male were wounded. Dickson died at the hospital. Several hours later, a third individual came forward suffering from a non-life threatening gunshot wound.

“After six long weeks of a relentless pursuit of Turner, we’d like to thank the U.S. Marshals Regional Fugitive Task Force for capturing the third suspect wanted in this tragic incident.” said Major Crimes Captain James Laino. “Our detectives worked tirelessly on this case and we’d like to thank the F.B.I for offering a reward for those who came forward with information and the community members who provided tips.”
