An 18-year-old named Jalen Faulkner was killed in a Little Rock convenience store shooting on November 30, 2016. The shooting occurred about 9:45 a.m. inside the #2 Woodrow Discount Store at 13th and Woodrow when a man arrived in a dark-colored Mercedes Benz, entered the store, and began firing. Faulkner was struck multiple times and later described by authorities as an innocent bystander caught in crossfire.

Police released surveillance images and identified 23-year-old Calvin Christerfer Stephens of Little Rock as the suspect. Stephens turned himself in to homicide detectives on December 19, 2016, and was charged with first-degree murder and held without bond at Pulaski County Jail.

Faulkner’s family later sued the store owner, alleging negligent security. The civil case ended in an $18 million settlement for the family. If anyone remembers that morning at the Woodrow Discount Store or has information about the incident, please share what you know.
