The North Little Rock Police Department (NLRPD) has launched an active investigation into the deadly incident, which has left a community shaken and searching for answers.
According to a statement released by police on social media, authorities were alerted to the shooting late Saturday night.

As of now, police have not released the name of the deceased, pending notification of next of kin.
The residence, located in a typically quiet North Little Rock neighborhood, quickly became the center of a large police presence as detectives worked through the night collecting evidence, speaking with potential witnesses, and piecing together the timeline of events. Neighbors, many of whom were stunned by the sight of flashing lights and crime scene tape, described the area as peaceful and largely free from violent incidents.
“We heard the sirens and then saw the tape going up,” said one nearby resident. “It’s scary. You don’t expect something like this to happen so close to home.”
