Man shot to death in downtown LR

-

A man was shot to death and another was injured late Thursday night in an “apparent domestic incident” in downtown Little Rock, police said.

Little Rock Police Department spokesman Lt. Casey Clark said the shooting occurred at 2015 S. Louisiana St. about 10:45 p.m., but that it wasn’t related to nearby demonstrat­ions earlier in the evening.

Clark said detectives were interviewi­ng a number of witnesses Thursday night.

The homicide occurred just a block from the Governor’s Mansion where just hours earlier about 100 protesters had gathered to march against racial injustice.

The Little Rock demonstrat­ion was broken up by police at MacArthur Park about 11 p.m.
