Tavorrye Whitaker-Lemon, 24, was fatally shot in the early morning hours of April 29, 2020, on the 2900 block of Romine Road in Little Rock. Responding officers arrived just after 2:30 a.m. after a 911 caller reported hearing several gunshots and seeing someone down in a driveway. Whitaker-Lemon suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene; his body was taken to the state crime lab for autopsy.

A second man, later identified as Juneau Willis, had also been shot and went to a house on Dorset Drive to seek help; detectives briefly spoke with him before he was taken to Baptist Hospital. Both men’s vehicles were impounded and taken to the department’s crime-scene bay for examination. Initial releases described the investigation as active, with police processing vehicles and awaiting autopsy findings. Authorities did not announce arrests or identify suspects in the shooting in their initial statements.

Whitaker-Lemon’s full name was listed in an obituary as Tavorrye Malik Whitaker-Lemon, and a national gun-violence memorial also recorded him among those killed by gunfire on April 29, 2020, in Little Rock. Does anyone have information about what happened that night or saw activity on Romine Road before dawn?
