5 arrested in connection to Richmond woman found dead in York County

YORK, Va. (WWBT) - Five people have been arrested in the murder of Ty’osha Mitchell, who was found dead in York County in early May.

A runner found Mitchell’s body around 6:30 a.m. May 6 in the area between Riverwalk Townhouses and the Colonial Parkway entrance of Old Williamsburg Road.

The York-Poquoson Sheriff’s Office said Mitchell had multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators believe Mitchell was forcibly taken from Richmond and left on the side of Old Williamsburg Road.

In May, police held a press conference with updates about the case. Police said witnesses heard gunshots in the early morning hours of May 6, leading investigators to believe she was taken from Richmond early in the morning.

Mitchell was found wearing a cream-colored t-shirt, dark shorts and socks that morning but no shoes or identification. An autopsy revealed Mitchell was shot eight times.

York-Poquoson Sheriff Ron Montgomery said in the conference deputies arrested three people in connection to Mitchell’s murder Wednesday afternoon.

24-year-old Jamica Langley of Richmond, 18-year-old Acacia Jackson of Norfolk and 24-year-old Hezekiah Janile Carney (also known as H.K.) of Norfolk were arrested in the 400 block of Water Street in Portsmouth.

A manhunt ensued for two additional suspects, Jayquan Jones and Donnisha Goodman. Jones was arrested in Richmond on May 25, while Goodman turned herself in to the police on June 12.

The sheriff also said all suspects are related to a gang in Norfolk. All five are being held in the York County Jail.
