Shortly after 2:30 a.m. on September 15, 2019, multiple ShotSpotter activations and a 911 call drew police to Asher Avenue in Little Rock between the 4300 and 5100 blocks. Officers found 29-year-old Emmanuel Cooper suffering from multiple apparent gunshot wounds at a Superstop convenience store; despite life-saving measures he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators later located 20-year-old Daquayveon Flanagan at UAMS Hospital with a gunshot wound to his left forearm. Flanagan told officers he had been shot on Asher Avenue; his injury was not considered life-threatening. Detectives processed the scene, impounded two vehicles believed to contain property belonging to the victims, and after reviewing evidence obtained an arrest warrant charging Flanagan with Murder in the First Degree and a Terroristic Act in connection with Cooper’s death.

If anyone witnessed activity on Asher Avenue that night or has information about the shooting, please share what is known.
