April 29, 2025 – A 17-year-old, who was wanted on attempted murder charges following an April 7 shootout, was taken custody this morning and is now also charged with a recent aggravated robbery.
Kingston Rice was located yesterday walking on Batavia Street when he tossed a pistol and fled from TITANS Unit detectives. He was arrested after a foot pursuit that ended near a residence on Elizabeth Jordan Street.
Rice was wanted for the April 7 car burglary on Smokey Hill Road that escalated to a shooting after the two suspects were confronted by the vehicle owner and his brother. The 24-year-old brother was struck in the chest and survived his injuries. Rice was identified as one of the suspects involved after his phone was dropped at the scene.
During an interview with detectives yesterday, Rice admitted to his involvement in the April 23 aggravated robbery outside R Market on 40th Avenue North. The victim was held at gunpoint as two suspects demanded his belongings. The victim reported he was pistol whipped during the exchange.
Rice was charged in Juvenile Court with three counts of aggravated robbery, two counts of attempted homicide, and burglary among other charges.
