James Ward, 29, was shot in the head and killed during an early-morning carjacking at about 4:30 a.m. on September 28, 2017. The shooting occurred at the Chapel Ridge Apartments in the 5900 block of McCain Park Place in North Little Rock. Deputies from Pulaski County found Ward at the scene and he was taken to a hospital, where he died of his injuries.

Investigators identified multiple people believed to be involved. Three men were arrested and charged with capital murder: Terry Miller Jr., 26 at the time; Jeffrey King, 27; and Jackie Andrew Jackson, 28. A fourth person of interest, Joshua Carngiano, was sought and later surrendered to the Boone County Sheriff’s Department. The Chapel Ridge complex had drawn attention for frequent police activity — the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office was reportedly sent there 355 times in the two years before the shooting.

A homegoing celebration for James Ward took place October 7, 2017, at Pleasant Grove Baptist Church in Scott. If anyone has information about what happened that morning, please come forward.
