LRPD looking into gunfire at house

- DANIEL MCFADIN ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT-GAZETTE

The Little Rock Police Department is investigat­ing a shooting Friday night on Hickory Court that did not include any injuries.

According to an incident report, the shooting occurred just after 8 p.m. at 7 Hickory Court.

Officers initially responded to a call for shots fired in the area of Crape Myrtle Place.

En route, “several” more calls came in from Hickory Court. When officers arrived on the scene, they found 7 Hickory Court and a Cadillac Escalade outside struck several times by gunfire.

One of the home’s residents, Alize Warren, 26, told police he was inside playing video games when he heard the gunshots. He said he did not see anything.

The report states that Warren refused to let officers inside the building to investigat­e damage and look for bullet fragments.

Warren was reluctant to give informatio­n to the officers and it took them multiple attempts to speak to the other people who were in the residence, including Kamya Warren, 21 , and two juveniles.

Officers were able to locate 12 .223 Remington shell casings in the road in front of the home.

A bullet from a handgun was found in the rear end of the Escalade.

Multiple neighbors in the area said they had seen a dark gray sedan pull into the area where the shell casing were found.

They witnessed a passenger exit the back of the car and fire a rifle at the house

before driving away.

One witness, Eli Morris, said he saw two Black males and one female exit 7 Hickory Court, with one of the men carrying a handgun. They circled the house before returning inside, and one of the men left before police arrived.

Another neighbor, Lucia Flores, said she had security camera footage of the incident. Officers were unable to see a license plate on the car, but it appeared to a new dark colored Toyota Corolla.
