Two inmates served warrants

- BRANDON RIDDLE

Police have arrested a teenager on a murder charge in a shooting that left a woman dead and a man injured last month in Arkansas’ capital city.

Kingsly Doshier, 17, of Little Rock was taken into custody about 9:30 p.m. Wednesday on one count of capital murder as well as two counts of terroristi­c act, records show.

Doshier was developed as a person of interest and later a suspect in the March 13 killing of 34-year-old Tartinisha Rainey of North Little Rock, according to a Little Rock Police Department report.

Arrest warrants also have been served for two other suspects in the case on similar charges, department spokesman officer Steve Moore said in a video posted to Facebook.

The two — 18-year-old Yuhanna Clinkscale of Little Rock and 20-year-old Patrick Johnson of Little Rock — are already being held the Pulaski County jail on unrelated charges, Moore said.

Clinkscale, who lives at 420 Napa Valley Drive, is being held on charges of unlawful discharge of a firearm from a moving vehicle, terroristi­c act, aggravated assault, theft by receiving and failure to appear. He was jailed on March 26 and is being held in lieu of a $250,000 bond, according to the online Pulaski County jail roster.

Johnson, of 2905 S. Monroe St., is charged with terroristi­c act, aggravated assault, theft by receiving,

possession of a firearm by a certain person and probation revocation.

Arrested on March 20, he is being held in lieu of a $750,000 bond on the theft-by-receiving charge and $250,000 on the aggravated-assault charge, according to the jail roster.

The warrants for the March 13 shooting were served for Clinkscale and Johnson on Thursday, police spokesman Lt. Michael Ford said.

Authoritie­s said Rainey and 41-year-old James Jackson, also of North Little Rock, were found shot shortly after midnight inside a beige 1997 Nissan Maxima in the area of 26th and Izard streets.

Rainey was unresponsi­ve when officers arrived and later died from multiple gunshot wounds, police said.

Jackson and a third person not hurt in the car told officers that strangers started shooting at their car from a gray vehicle.

Doshier remained at the Pulaski County jail as of Thursday afternoon, and bail had not been set, according to an online inmate roster. He has a court appearance set for Wednesday.

Rainey’s killing was the sixth of 12 homicides recorded so far this year in Little Rock.
