Larry Bernard Williams II, 42, was found dead in his Little Rock home in late February 2016, days after being released from prison. A friend, Malik Mumit, visited Williams at 1207 E. 28th Street the evening before and returned the morning of February 26 after calls and messages went unanswered. Mumit discovered Williams lying in a pool of blood with visible facial trauma and called 911. Responding emergency personnel pronounced Williams dead at the scene.

An investigation determined Williams had been shot once and the city classified the death as its sixth homicide of the year. Mumit told authorities Williams had previously argued with a person linked to the killing of Williams’ brother, though it was unclear whether Williams had recent contact with that individual. Investigators canvassed the neighborhood but no suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been made.

Anyone who knew Williams, his routines, or who might have seen activity at 1207 E. 28th Street around February 25–26, 2016 is asked to come forward with information.
