LITTLE ROCK -- A former Memphian charged in the shooting death of one soldier and wounding of another outside a Little Rock recruiting station wants to fire one of his attorneys.
Abdulhakim Muhammad, who was once known as Carlos Bledsoe, says in a letter to Pulaski County Circuit Judge Herb Wright that he's firing lead attorney Claiborne Ferguson but wants to keep attorney Patrick Benca.
