In the late hours of November 21, 2021, a shooting in a wooded area near South University and Golf World in Little Rock, Arkansas, left 63-year-old Robert Schram dead. Police were called about midnight and treated the death as a homicide.

Authorities opened an investigation and for nearly two years no suspect was publicly named as investigators sought to piece together what happened that night.The long-running inquiry yielded a major development on September 11, 2023, when the Little Rock Police Department took 43-year-old Gary Higgins of Little Rock into custody and charged him with capital murder in connection with Schram’s death. The arrest represented a significant step after an extended period with few public details about the case.

Anyone with information about Robert Schram, the shooting scene near South University and Golf World, or events in the hours before the killing is asked to come forward.
