On the late morning of September 18, 2016, police found 26-year-old Robert Ryan Hunter fatally shot inside his apartment at the Shadow Lake Apartment Complex on West Markham Street in west Little Rock. A woman at the scene had called for help, reporting her boyfriend had been shot; Hunter sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Hunter owned and operated Stylus Kuts and Salon LLC and was remembered by family and acquaintances for a warm, brotherly presence in his community. Little Rock Police opened a homicide investigation and said robbery was considered a primary motive. Despite public appeals, no suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests were announced, and the case has grown cold.

Anyone with information that could help solve Robert Ryan Hunter’s killing is asked to contact the Little Rock Police Department.?
