SHERWOOD, Ark. (KTHV) – A third teenager has been charged in connection with the shooting death of a Sylvan Hills student.
On Tuesday, 18-year-old Xavier Porter was sentenced to 10 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to aggravated robbery in the April 2016 shooting death of 17-year-old Bryan Thompson.
Porter was originally charged with capital murder and aggravated robbery in Thompson’s death but the murder charge was dropped as court documents cited Nolle Pros, which means the prosecutor admits that the charges can’t be proved and subsequently dropped the charges.
Sherwood police found Thompson shot inside a car in the parking lot of the Bill Harmon Recreation Center on Shelby Road on April 21, 2016.
Just last week, 16-year-old Quincy Parks pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and aggravated robbery and was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
The other teenager, now 15, who was arrested in this case was transferred to juvenile court last fall after pleading guilty to robbery charges and agreeing to testify against Parks and Porter.
