Four homicides had been reported in Little Rock within the 24 hours leading up to Sunday afternoon, according to police.
Officers with the Little Rock Police Department were investigating a Sunday afternoon homicide in the 8400 block of Labette Drive, about 2 miles southeast of the Interstate 430/Interstate 630 interchange. Mark Edwards, Little Rock police spokesman, cautioned people around 2 p.m. Sunday to avoid the area.
The incident, which involved a vehicle, was reported at 1:11 p.m. Sunday at 8425 Labette Drive, according to the Little Rock dispatch log. Police as of Sunday afternoon could not confirm how many people were in the vehicle or any further details, Edwards said.
In a separate incident, police arrested a man Saturday afternoon after his wife was murdered, according to a press release.
Just before 4 p.m. Saturday, officers responded to a call in the 2700 block of Longcoy Street, less than a mile south of Labette Drive. The officers were directed to the front door of the house by Quincy Harris, and they found Kimeisha Harris dead on the living room floor, according to the press release.
After interviews and analysis, Quincy Harris was arrested on charges of first-degree murder.
