Fourth Suspect Charged in Columbia Teen's Murder, Shooter Still Sought

Howard County police have arrested a fourth suspect, 20-year-old Jeremiah Robinson, in connection with the January shooting death of 17-year-old Lance Carrington, who was found shot in a parked car. Robinson faces first- and second-degree murder charges and is currently held without bond. Authorities are still searching for the alleged shooter, 16-year-old Jemik Parker, who is also charged with murder, and a reward of up to $10,000 is being offered for information leading to his capture. Three other suspects—Janae Baker, Kendall Stagg, and Charles Epperson Jr.—have already been charged and are also being held without bail. Investigators believe that the group conspired to rob Carrington of a gun, which he had in his possession at the time of the shooting. The police are urging anyone with information about Parker to come forward as he is considered a potential threat to public safety.
