Late one Thursday in March, officers were called to a home in the 1900 block of Rice Street in Little Rock after a report of a subject down. Inside, police found 39-year-old Brian Deshaun McDowell unresponsive from an apparent gunshot wound. Homicide detectives and crime scene units processed the residence and McDowell’s body was taken to the Arkansas State Crime Lab for autopsy.

Investigators identified a suspect during the probe, but the person’s name was not released. On Thursday, July 8, Little Rock Police detectives submitted the case for file review and the Prosecuting Attorney’s office later ruled the homicide justified; no arrests were made.

If anyone knew Brian, saw activity around Rice Street that week, or has information about this shooting, please come forward to the authorities.
