Police have detained one female involved in the altercation, who is cooperating, and they’re asking for the public’s help in identifying all parties involved, APD Homicide Commander Lt. Ralph Woolfolk said during apress conferenceFriday. They’re also searching for a male suspect who might have been captured on surveillance footage, according toCBS 46.
“This is truly an atrocity. A young lady has lost her life over a bowling ball. We talk about conflict-resolution time and time again and this is an escalated dispute so we will work this case through the night and we will find the person responsible,” Woolfolk said, according to CBS 46. “We know who [you] are so go ahead and turn yourself in.”
LaKevia’s mother Sherina Jackson told the outlet that her daughter was leaving her best friend’s birthday when she was shot and that she spoke on the phone with LaKevia shortly before she died, noting that the suspect waited 20 minutes in the parking lot for her to come out.
