Arraignment Tuesday for suspect in fatal shooting
TEXARKANA, Ark. — A 18-year-old man charged with first-degree murder has an arraignment scheduled for Tuesday, according to court documents.
Jamauri Martavious Davis of Texarkana, Arkansas, was charged with first-degree murder on Jan. 31, according to Miller County Circuit Court records. An arraignment was set for Feb. 14 but has been rescheduled for Feb. 21 due to a scheduling conflict with his attorney, Jordan B. Tinsley, of Little Rock, according to court documents.
Davis turned himself in on the felony warrant for first-degree murder on Dec. 13, 2022. The warrant resulted from a shooting that occurred in the 2000 block of East 24th Street in Texarkana, Arkansas, on Dec. 4, 2022.
TAPD was called to the location in regards to Keeunta Gilliam, 19, having been shot. Gilliam was transported to Wadley Regional Medical Center, where he succumbed to his injuries. Investigators with TAPD developed probable cause for the warrant for Davis.
First-degree murder is a Class Y felony that punishable by imprisonment in the Arkansas Department of Correction for not less than 10 years or more than 40 years.
Davis remains in the Miller County Correctional Center with bond set at $500,000.
The shooting in which Gilliam was killed was one of two fatal shootings that happened Dec. 4 in Texarkana, Arkansas.
