On the evening of Saturday, July 15, 2023, officers from the Southwest Division of the Little Rock Police Department responded to a reported shooting at 5001 West 65th Street. Responding medics transported 37-year-old Walter Hair Jr. to a local hospital with apparent gunshot wounds; he later died of those injuries. The Pulaski County Coroner’s office sent his body to the State Crime Lab for autopsy and homicide detectives processed the secured scene.

Investigators learned a second man, Derrick Weaver, was being treated at another hospital for a gunshot wound to the neck and linked both men to the same West 65th Street incident. Detectives canvassed for witnesses and sought surveillance video; Weaver declined to be interviewed at the hospital without an attorney present. The case was submitted for prosecutor review and on December 16, 2024 charges were filed against Derrick Weaver, 40, of Conway, including Manslaughter, Possession of a Firearm by Certain Persons, and Simultaneous Possession of Drugs and Firearms.

Are there witnesses or anyone with video from West 65th Street on July 15, 2023 who can help fill in what happened that night?
