An 18-year-old, Dillan Cheeter, was killed in a drive-by or group shooting in Little Rock in the early hours of July 5, 2026. Officers arrived about 2:05 a.m. at 5103 Asher Avenue and found Cheeter in the parking lot with multiple gunshot wounds; first responders’ efforts failed and he was pronounced dead at the scene. The Pulaski County Coroner’s Office sent his body to the Arkansas State Crime Lab for autopsy.

Two other people, both minors, were also struck during the incident. One wounded youth was located at the scene and the other was driven to a hospital by a private vehicle; one of the minors was reported in critical condition. The Little Rock Police Department’s Southwest Division secured the scene, canvassed for evidence and witnesses, and launched a homicide investigation.

As of early July no suspects had been publicly identified and no arrests or charges had been announced. Anyone with information about what happened that night is asked to contact the Little Rock Police Department.
