Later that day, police arrested Javon Pollard, a 19-year-old from Portsmouth, in connection to the shooting.
Police say further investigation led to Hopkins' arrest and upgraded charges for Pollard. He was initially charged with second-degree murder, but police say he's now charged with first-degree murder. He's also charged with conspiracy, police added.
