TEXARKANA, Ark. – Arkansas State Police officials said troopers arrested a teen facing a murder charge following a high-speed pursuit in Texarkana earlier in the week.

According to the ASP, troopers assisted officers with the Texarkana Police Department in pursuing a stolen vehicle around 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday near Garland and Jefferson Avenues.

Troopers said they then found the stolen vehicle and suspect traveling north on Jefferson Avenue before he turned east on Interstate 30 traveling around 95 miles per hour.

Near the I-30/I-49 interchange, authorities said the suspect tried to pass a vehicle in the median and lost control. Police said the suspect’s vehicle overturned in the median before stopping upside down.

Officials said the troopers arrested the 17-year-old suspect and after he received treatment at a nearby hospital, the suspect was transported to a juvenile detention center in Pine Bluff.

Authorities said the suspect had a trial date set for next month for a first-degree murder charge tied to the death of Kendrick Roquemore that occurred on Sept. 29, 2023.
