Thursday a violent night in North Little Rock

Three teenagers were sent to a hospital Thursday night after being found with injuries that weren’t life-threatening in a night of violence for a North Little Rock neighborhood.

Less than an hour after finding the teens, police responded to a shooting blocks away that left a woman in critical condition as of Friday evening.

Police were called to a group disturbance on Parkdale Street around 7:50 p.m. Thursday, said Sgt. Brian Dedrick, spokesman for the department.

Connie Kuehl, 28, was outside her house when the violence started and saw a group of 15 to 20 people fighting in the street, she said.

The fight then moved to the front lawn of a house before ending up in a grass field at the intersection of Parkdale, Omega and Water streets, she said.

She saw people running with bats and saw a glass bottle shatter as a man was hit in the head, she said.

About eight minutes after officers responded to the fight on Parkdale Street, police were called to the same neighborhood for a report of a stabbing, Dedrick said.

Near 119 Park Place, officers found two teenagers who had been stabbed and a third teen who had been hit over the head with an object, Dedrick said.

Dedrick said one of the victims is 16 years old, while the other two are 15.

All three teenagers were taken to Arkansas Children’s Hospital and did not have life-threatening injuries, he said.

About 8:40 p.m., police were again called to the neighborhood, where they found LaTrina Brock outside her house at 319 Parkdale St. with a gunshot wound in her throat, Dedrick said.

Kuehl said she exited her house after the shots were fired and found Brock bleeding. She went to her neighbor, comforting her until the paramedics arrived, she said.

“She held my hand and squeezed it and said, ‘Don’t let go,’” Kuehl said.

Kuehl, a mother two, said that while she has seen some disturbances in the neighborhood, she has never seen this sort of violence.

“It’s terrifying, it’s absolutely terrifying,” she said.

Police are still investigating whether the fight, the shooting and the teenage victims were connected, Dedrick said.
