Vincent James, 48, was shot during an attempted robbery outside his South Main Street home in Little Rock in the early hours of August 13, 2017. Witnesses and officers say he was confronted by two men as he was entering his residence; during a struggle one assailant shot him in both legs. James walked to a neighbor’s house to call for help. Police arrived about 2:50 a.m. and found him wounded; he was taken to the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences but died later that morning at 9 a.m.

The case saw little public movement for two years until September 2019, when cold case investigators and homicide detectives developed leads that produced an arrest warrant. On September 16, 2019, 24-year-old Tevin Nelson was arrested and charged with first-degree murder in James’s death and booked into the Pulaski County Jail. There has been no public information about the second suspect James originally described.

Did anyone in Little Rock recognize either of the two men seen that night or have information about what happened outside South Main Street?
