Two Men Charged in Death of Partner in Shootout



Police say two robbery suspects face capital murder charges for the death of another man who was working with them, even though neither actually shot him.



Reginald Scroggins, the man whose bullet killed Cortelyous Johnson, has not been charged because it appears he was acting in self-defense.



Sergeant Terry Hastings, spokesman for the Little Rock Police department, said prosecutors are reviewing whether to charge Scroggins or not.



The men charged with killing 28-year-old Cortelyous Johnson are 22-year-old Jarrett Johnson and 23-year-old Gregory Williams, 23. They're also charged with two counts of committing a terroristic act and four counts of aggravated robbery.



A police report says the three men were robbing people outside a Little Rock nightclub early Monday.
No subsequent stories about this incident were found.
