5 gang members plead guilty to kidnapping, killing Richmond woman in York County
The five gang members arrested in May 2023 in connection to the brutal beating, abduction and eventual killing of a 25-year-old Richmond woman in York County pleaded guilty to federal charges.
Tyosha Mitchell was the highest ranking female member of a Norfolk-based gang called the Mad Stone Bloods, which is a subset of the larger Black P. Stone Nation gang, according to police. As a condition of exiting the group, she had to be “beaten out,” court documents show.
A group of four gang members — 25-year-old Hezekiah Carney of Norfolk, 25-year-old Jamica Langley of Richmond, 27-year-old Donnisha Goodman of Portsmouth, and 19-year-old Acacia Jackson of New York — traveled to Mitchell’s Richmond apartment to beat her on May 6, 2023. They left only to return an hour later, this time with 21-year-old Jayquan Jones, of Richmond. Some members of the group were armed and wore masks.
The group attacked Mitchell again, then took her away in a vehicle. They drove about an hour east to a remote area in Yorktown on Old Williamsburg Road, about halfway between Riverwalk Townes town houses and Colonial National Historical Parkway. There, the five members took her out of the car and shot her.
Her body was discovered by a jogger at about 6:30 a.m. on May 6, 2023, located near the tree line about 10 feet back from Old Williamsburg Road. She had been shot eight times in the head, abdomen, back, buttocks and legs, according to the Medical Examiner.
Carney then told the others to avoid capture by burning their clothes, staying together and not speaking to police, prosecutors said. The vehicle used to take Mitchell away was found on May 7, 2023, with Jackson, Goodman and Langley inside, along with substantial evidence including multiple cellphones, a black mask and a bullet matching the shell casings found at the scene of the shooting.
Carney, Goodman and Jones pleaded guilty to using a firearm to cause death and each face a minimum of 35 years in prison with a maximum of 45 years in prison. Jackson and Langley pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit kidnapping and face up to life in prison.
Jackson is scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 31, Langley on Nov. 7, Carney and Jones on Jan. 9, 2025, and Goodman on Jan. 7, 2025.
