A planned get-together to watch a basketball game became a scene of tragedy for one Arkansas family. On June 8, 2018, 62-year-old Lawrence Clayborn Butler Jr., a Black male, was found slumped over inside his Little Rock home after a cousin who arrived for the game became concerned when they could not enter the residence. Responding officers confirmed Butler had been shot multiple times and his death was ruled a homicide.

The Little Rock Police Department opened a homicide investigation into Butler’s killing. If anyone knew Lawrence Butler, his routines, or saw anything in that neighborhood around June 8, 2018, contact the Little Rock Police Department with any information.
