Thomas Lee Little Sr., 33, has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of Timothy Scott Jenkins Thursday, police said. Little is also charged with use of a firearm by a felon, and shooting in the commission of a felony.
The shooting occurred at roughly 10 a.m. Thursday. It took place outside a neighborhood mini mart just off of Elm Avenue on Duke Street in Portsmouth.
Bystander Tamika Hardy told News 3 she heard multiple gunshots.
"Yeah, it was about five or six of them. I was coming off the bus. It could have been me. I was close by," Hardy said.

"We were all calling 911," said Hardy. "I [was] really scared."
