A juvenile suspect turned himself in on Tuesday at the Hot Springs Police Department in connection with a double homicide that happened in the city on Friday night. This comes after authorities arrested two other juveniles Monday that were involved in connection with the shooting deaths of 20-year-old Adrianna Howell and 20-year-old Mahayla Swayze.
On Friday around 5:15 PM responded to a shooting call on the 200 block of Beard Street. When officers arrived, they discovered two victims, later identified as Howell and Swayze, sitting inside a parked car with gunshot wounds. Police said Howell was declared dead on the scene and Swayze was taken to a local hospital for her injuries, which she later died from on Sunday. Officials from the Hot Springs Police Department said detectives later identified multiple juvenile suspects in connection with the shooting, arresting two of them with the third turning himself in Tuesday.
Officials said the juveniles who were arrested are facing two charges of capital murder and a charge of aggravated robbery. An investigation into the matter is ongoing.
