John Word, a 21-year-old Black man, was fatally shot in Little Rock on January 22, 2020. Later that afternoon, police were alerted that a shooting victim was being brought to the 12th Street Station; the reported vehicle, a white Nissan, did not arrive. Officers found Word inside the passenger side of that Nissan behind Pic-Pac Liquor on West 12th Street. First responders pronounced him dead at the scene.

Investigators identified a suspect who has said the shooting was in self-defense and surrendered to police. As of late January 2020, no homicide charges had been filed and the investigation remained open. Does anyone have information about what happened in the hours after the O'Reilly Auto Parts incident or about the white Nissan?
