Braxton Hale, 28, was shot in the early morning hours of January 14, 2022, at a residence on Par Drive near Eagle Hill golf course in Little Rock and died of his wounds the following day. Officers arrived at about 8:47 a.m. and found Hale with multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to a local hospital where he later died.

At the scene officers encountered Shaylaya Khabeer, who identified herself as Hale’s wife and was holding two bullets and $300 in cash. Khabeer was initially arrested on a charge of first-degree domestic battery; after Hale’s death the charges were upgraded to first-degree murder and she was booked into the Pulaski County jail. The investigation into the circumstances of the shooting continued.

If anyone has information about what happened at the Par Drive residence that morning, please come forward.
