Arkansas teen sentenced to 50 years on 4 counts of murder

A 19-year-old man has pleaded guilty to multiple murder charges, the first of which he committed as a 15-year-old. He has now received a 50 year sentence.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — A 19-year-old man has pleaded guilty to four counts of first-degree murder and will spend 50 years in the Arkansas Department of Corrections.

According to authorities, 19-year-old Freddrick Jackson committed the first murder when he was only 15 years old. 

“The defendant was a teenager when senseless acts of violence destroyed multiple families,” Sixth Judicial District Prosecuting Attorney Will Jones said. “This reaffirms that more community resources are needed to intercept at-risk juveniles before lives are impacted.”

We are working to learn more about the details surrounding Jackson's charges and will update this article as more information becomes available.
