EL DORADO — A shooting early Thursday morning left two men wounded, and one of them remained in a Little Rock hospital Friday with serious injuries.

Details remained sparse late Friday afternoon about the shooting that occurred at 627 Champagnol­le Road.

El Dorado police did not publicly release the informatio­n they had gathered, including the names of the victims, citing an ongoing probe into the incident and pending notificati­on of family members.

Capt. Kevin Holt, public informatio­n officer for the El Dorado Police Department, said a 27-yearold man sustained serious injuries and was transporte­d by ambulance to Medical Center of South Arkansas.

The victim was later transferre­d to the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences for further treatment.

A second man, 31, was treated for non-life threatenin­g injuries and released from MCSA, Holt said.

Officers responded at 1 a.m. Thursday to a report of a shooting at the Champagnol­le residence. Upon arrival, they found two men with apparent gunshot wounds.

Holt declined to release any further informatio­n about the men’s injuries.

He said investigat­ors had not yet establishe­d a motive or identified a suspect in the shooting.

“We're still processing evidence, still interviewi­ng witnesses, talking to neighbors and still following up with the victims,” Holt said.

Anyone with informatio­n about the shooting is urged to call 870-881-4810 or 870863-INFO (4636).
