On November 6, 2021, at about 2:00 p.m. in the 3400 block of West 10th Street in Little Rock, Arkansas, 60-year-old Bertrand Olander White Jr. was shot and pronounced dead at the scene. His body was sent to the Arkansas State Crime Lab for an official determination of cause of death.
Officers encountered another 60-year-old man at the scene, Sedalia Robinson Jr., who told them he had just shot a man. Witnesses gave statements, and officers noted Robinson appeared to be intoxicated; detectives did not complete a formal interview immediately. Robinson was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and booked into the Pulaski County Regional Jail. Authorities have not released further details about what led to the shooting.
White, known as Bert, was born June 26, 1961, in Marvell, Arkansas. He graduated from Marvell High School, attended Phillips County Community College, and enjoyed basketball, photography, and making music; he is survived by his mother and seven siblings.
Does anyone have information about what happened that afternoon or knew Bert and can help clarify the events?
