A second suspect wanted in the Oct. 24 murder of Chino Lovett, 24, of El Dorado has turned himself in and is awaiting extradition to Union County.
William Bernard Golden, 52, of El Dorado surrendered to police in Oldham County, Kentucky on Sunday, said Capt. Jeff Stinson, chief investigator at the Union County Sheriff's Office.
"We're not sure why Kentucky. We knew of some connections to Illinois, but nothing specific regarding Kentucky," Stinson said.
Cadarris O. Kendrix, 32, of Little Rock has also been arrested in connection with Lovett's murder. He turned himself in to UCSO deputies shortly after Lovett was killed.
On Oct. 24, UCSO deputies responded to reports of gunfire on Wildwood Drive. They found Lovett suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
Lovett was transported to Medical Center of South Arkansas, but subsequently died as a result of his injuries.
Both Golden and Kendrix are facing charges of capital murder.
According to the UCSO jail roster, Kendrix is also facing charges of possession of a firearm by certain persons and parole violation. Kendrix is currently being held without bond at the Union County Detention Center.
Stinson said Golden is expected to arrive in El Dorado in time to appear in court on Monday.
"We're still investigating the motive," Stinson said.
According to court records, both Golden and Kendrix have been convicted of murder in the past -- Kendrix pleaded guilty to the 2007 murder of Willie Shaw and Golden was sentenced to 10 years in prison on a first-degree murder charge in 2009, records say.
Lovett is survived by his parents, two sisters, a brother and a host of other relatives.
