Arkansas teen gets 20 years in prison for fatal shooting

SHERWOOD — A 16-yearold boy has been sentenced to

20 years in prison after pleading

guilty to fatally shooting a teenager outside a recreation center in a suburb of Little Rock.

The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports that Quincy Parks pleaded guilty Tuesday to first-degree murder and aggravated robbery in the April 2016 shooting death of 17-year-old Bryan Allen Thompson in Sherwood.

Deputy Prosecutor Ashley Clancy says Parks demanded Thompson’s money and then shot him in the throat.

Xavier Terrell Porter is charged with capital murder and aggravated robbery in connection to Thompson’s death. He is scheduled for final pre-trial hearing next week.

Another teenager arrested in the case was transferred to juvenile court in October after he agreed to plead guilty to robbery charges and to testify against his co-defendants.
