Antwon Bryant, 27, was found dead from multiple gunshot wounds on the morning of August 14, 2017. His body was discovered in the grass along a frontage road near Interstate 30 at 28th and Commerce after an earlier call of shots fired near the 500 block of East Roosevelt produced no immediate evidence. The Little Rock Police Department’s Homicide Unit took over the investigation and said detectives were examining whether Bryant’s killing was linked to other recent homicides as violence in the city shifted eastward.

Bryant’s death was recorded as Little Rock’s 42nd homicide of 2017. Anyone who might have seen activity in the area that morning or who has information about Bryant’s death is asked to come forward.
