Across the Mountain was named a person of interest shortly after the murder, but police said she was not considered a suspect.
Little Light’s body was found inside a west-side home in the late-afternoon hours of Feb. 7, 2016.
An autopsy revealed she was the victim of a homicide.
Shortly after her death, family members gathered outside her home to pay tribute to a woman with a “heart of gold.”
Police aren’t releasing any more information, but said an update will be provided when available.
