Police said Tardra Bouknight was charged Wednesday with first-degree murder, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury and kidnapping among other crimes.

Bouknight, 31, is the second man arrested by police in connection with the death of David Doyle Jr.

The report said the incident at Doyle’s house on Plantation Woods Drive lasted for 19 hours.
