On the morning of December 24, 2024, 27-year-old North Little Rock resident Lakyron Herrod was found suffering from at least one gunshot wound in the 1300 block of Maple Street. Officers from the North Little Rock Police Department arrived about 6:20 a.m.; despite medical attention, Herrod was pronounced dead at the scene and the case was opened as a homicide investigation.

Police identified a 27-year-old suspect, Robert Sanders III, who was taken into custody the same day. Sanders was charged with first-degree murder and possession of a firearm by certain persons and is being held without bond at the Pulaski County Regional Detention Facility as legal proceedings continue. The department is asking anyone with information to contact the assigned detective or the tip line.

Are there details about that morning or anyone who saw activity on Maple Street around 6:20 a.m. that could help the investigation?
