A Saturday night shooting at a Colonel Glenn Road gas station left a Little Rock family grieving. On February 17, 2024, at about 9:11 p.m., 43-year-old Roy Jenkins was struck by gunfire during an incident that also wounded 38-year-old Lamarcus Thomas. Both men were taken to a nearby hospital; Jenkins later died of his injuries while Thomas was reported in stable condition and has become a key witness in the investigation.

The Little Rock Police Department opened a homicide probe and identified a suspect. Forty-five-year-old Courtney Blackwell was taken into custody and charged with second-degree murder in connection with Jenkins’s death. The motive and precise circumstances of the altercation have not been released, and the investigation remains ongoing.

If anyone witnessed the shooting at the gas station on Colonel Glenn Road that night or has information about what led to this violence, please come forward to assist the investigation.
