On May 17, 2021, 27-year-old Douglas Lee Bennett III was shot dead at the Arrowhead Estates Apartment Complex, 4705 Augusta Circle in North Little Rock. A second victim, 26-year-old Andrew Isaiah Jackson, was also found fatally shot at the same scene.

Police say a resident called North Little Rock officers that afternoon reporting he had shot two men who he alleged had attacked him inside his apartment. Officers who responded found Bennett and Jackson with what appeared to be fatal gunshot wounds. Both bodies were sent to the Arkansas State Crime Lab for autopsy and detectives opened a homicide investigation.

As of the initial reports, no arrest had been announced and the shooter, who claimed self-defense, had not been publicly identified. Anyone with information about what happened is asked to contact the North Little Rock Police Department detective division or the department’s anonymous tip line.
