There is a pattern of violence surrounding this young man that claimed my own son's life and his brothers life in 2020. There are strong implications that makes this, not random, but part of a larger systematic failure of the people of NLR

I hear you. When multiple families are impacted, it’s understandable to feel like it’s part of a bigger breakdown, not “random.” If you have information that points to a pattern: repeat offenders, repeat locations, ignored reports and consider organizing it into a simple timeline and sharing it with NLRPD leadership and the city council/public safety committee. That creates a record that’s harder to brush off. Also, if you can share specifics (even just years/areas), people here may be able to point you toward resources, contacts, or ways to push for accountability without putting your family at risk.

Deonte Lambert, 29, was fatally shot on the evening of Thursday, April 18, 2024, at an apartment complex in the 1700 block of Locust Street in North Little Rock, Arkansas.
