A third arrest has been made in connection with an Iowa City homicide case.
Iowa City Police say they received information from the Lubbock County, Texas Sheriff’s Office on Friday that 44-year-old Reginald Little was taken into custody that morning. He had been wanted for his involvement in the shooting death of Kejuan Winters last month in Iowa City.
Little is charged with 1st Degree Murder and will be extradited back to Johnson County.
Durojaiye Antonio Rosa, who lives in Winter’s building, was also charged with 1st Degree Murder for his role in Winters’ death earlier this week. 1st Degree Murder is a Class A Felony punishable by life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Arrest reports indicate that first responders were called to 1960 Broadway for a disturbance at around 10am on April 20th. Gunshots were heard on the call to police. Arriving officers found Winters, who died at the scene from gunshot wounds.
Rosa and an unidentified female were present in the residence. The two described a man matching the shooter’s description entering the residence and fighting with Winters before hearing shots.
An investigation of cellphone records reportedly shows that Rosa was communicating with Little about entering the apartment immediately prior to shots being fired. During a followup interview, Rosa allegedly admitted that he and Little discussed a plan to rob the victim. Rosa did state that he did not plan for Winters to be shot, only robbed. Winters was unarmed.
A third man, 21-year-old Jordan Hogan of Cross Park Avenue, was arrested on April 25th for allegedly lying to detectives to help Little and Rosa escape. He’s charged with Obstructing Prosecution or Defense, an Aggravated Misdemeanor punishable by a maximum of two years in prison.
The investigation remains ongoing and anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact the Iowa City Police Department at 319-356-5276. Iowa City Area Crime Stoppers is also offering up to $1,000 for information that leads to an arrest. Anonymous tips can be submitted at P3tips.com.
