Jimmy Dale Turner, 57, was fatally shot outside his North Little Rock residence in the 500 block of West 17th Street on the evening of April 17, 2023. Authorities say the shooting occurred during a robbery; the assailant took money and a cellphone. Turner was found with at least one gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene.

A doorbell camera captured the encounter but did not clearly show the shooter’s face. Turner’s brother and daughter have said his manner of speaking during the encounter suggested he may have known the assailant, and the family suspects the shooter may have been lying in wait and familiar with Turner’s routine. Detectives processed the scene and conducted interviews; no suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests announced.
