4 suspects charged in LR hotel holdups

Little Rock police have made four arrests after a series of hotel robberies in the past week.

Police spokesman Steve Moore said two women and two men were taken into custody after the older-model, baby-blue sedan seen in security footage from one of the businesses was located about 3 p.m. Wednesday at 6920 Colonel Glenn Road, the listed address for an Exxon gas station.

Khiry Cordeel Walker, 23, has been charged with three counts of aggravated robbery and property theft and one count of criminal attempt, with the latter charge connected to an attempted robbery at Super 7, 9525 Interstate 30, shortly after 11 p.m. Sunday, Moore said.

Walker also faces multiple drug and firearm charges as well as one count of third-degree escape.

Three others have charges relating to various roles they are suspected of having in the robberies, Moore said.

Gabrielle Deshawn Madison, 29, is charged with two counts of aggravated robbery and property theft in addition to criminal attempt, possession of a controlled substance and fleeing.

Teman Phillips Hobbs, 28, faces charges of criminal attempt, theft by receiving, fleeing and possession of firearms by certain persons.

Keviannah Dalisha Eley, 24, is charged with one count of aggravated robbery and property theft.

All four were being held at the Pulaski County jail, records show. No bail had been set.

The first robbery took place early Dec. 14 at Candlewood Suites, 10520 W. Markham St.

Walker is accused of banging a black handgun on the glass of a side door of the Super 7 on Sunday, though nothing was taken from that business, according to a police report.

Then Monday, Garden Inn & Suites at 3801 W. Eighth St. and M Star at 1010 Breckenridge Drive were held up within hours of each other, authorities said.

Police identify men injured by gunshots

Little Rock police have identified two men who were wounded in a Wednesday evening shooting.

Jeremy Dennis, 25, and Darius Scott, 18, were dropped off at Arkansas Children's Hospital with gunshot wounds in their feet around 7 p.m., according to a police report.

The men told police they were at Crump Park, near 33rd and Fulton streets, when they heard gunfire and were struck.

Both reportedly arrived at the hospital in stable condition. Dennis was taken to UAMS Medical Center for further treatment.

Police were not able to establish a crime scene, and no arrests had been made at the time of the police report.

Officers are investigating whether the double shooting is connected to a shooting Tuesday that injured a 17-year-old boy and reportedly happened in the same area, police spokesman Steve Moore said Wednesday.

No suspects were named and no arrests had been made at the time of the report.
