Carrollton police: Fourth arrest made in 13-year-old Nizzear Rodriguez's death

Carrollton Police confirm they have made a total of four arrests in connection with the Sunday murder of a 13-year-old in his own bedroom.

Officers arrested Malik Davis, 17 on Sunday and Kenneth Wheat, 21, on Tuesday for the murder of Nizzear Rodriguez.

Police have also arrested Jackqueline Freeman and a fourth suspect Oleida Ward, 34, for lying to police during this investigation. According to police, Freeman was the get-away driver and has been charged with murder. Both arrests happened on Tuesday.

People who knew Nizzear say the teen, who just celebrated his 13th birthday on Saturday, had a full life of promise ahead.

”I have no idea someone who would do a little kid like that," neighbor Jerime Lacey said.

Carrollton Police responded to a 911 call around noon Sunday that a boy had been shot. When officers arrived, they found relatives trying to rush the teen to a local hospital, but he was already dead.

Investigators believe the fatal shot was fired sometime early Sunday moing.

Lacey told reporters, ”That's sad because like, the little bro got potential, he was going to take his family out of the hood and get them somewhere good.

Captain Chris Dobbs of the Carrollton Police Department described the victim as an ”outstanding kid, outstanding student.

Captain Dobb said ”(His) parents said he was a great kid and no one tells us anything elsewhere.

Police said they have never responded to the boy's home in the past and they never had any trouble with Rodriguez. They said they responded here several times this past week alone to the family's neighborhood in reference to gang activity-even issuing a search warrant next door.

Captain Dobbs said, ”We have had gang activity. Could they have been at the wrong place? It is a possibility.

Though it remains unclear who shot the boy less than a day into his teenage years, everyone we spoke agreed on one thing.

”He wasn't no bad child. He didn't deserve it, said Lacey
