In the late morning of June 8, 2026, officers were called to the Jefferson Manor Apartments at 2600 John Ashley Drive in North Little Rock after reports of a shooting. Inside one of the units they found 29-year-old Arron Gilliam with gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Detectives quickly identified 39-year-old Cecil Brooks Jr. as the primary suspect and sought him on a warrant charging capital murder. Brooks surrendered on June 10, 2026, and was formally charged; his first court appearance was set for July 2, 2026. The police continue to treat the case as an active investigation and have asked the public for tips.

Does anyone in the North Little Rock area have information about Gilliam, the Jefferson Manor Apartments, or events that morning that could help the investigation?
