Larry Foster, 61, a Benton, Arkansas resident, was shot and killed on October 17, 2022. He was found unresponsive near the 12800 block of Interstate 30 Frontage Road in Little Rock after officers responded to a subject down call; medical aid was given but he was pronounced dead at the scene. His children said he was on his way to work and in the right place at the wrong time.

Investigators linked Foster’s death to an earlier shooting that day at County Oaks Apartments, where 28-year-old Krystle Wilder was killed. Authorities say they identified 39-year-old Demontra Hatfield of Benton as responsible for Wilder’s death and that Hatfield fled with a juvenile who had also been shot. Hatfield was arrested in connection with both incidents and was charged with capital murder in Foster’s killing. An affidavit reports Hatfield told detectives a car crash led to an argument and that he shot Foster because he believed Foster had a gun; no weapon was found where Foster died.

If anyone saw the area near Interstate 30 Frontage Road that morning or has information about either shooting, please share what is known.
