Andre Luckey

Andre Luckey, a 38-year-old Black man known to friends and family as a great father who loved his family, was killed in a shooting on January 21, 2022. A truck driver and alumnus of Little Rock Central High School, Andre was remembered as an outspoken man who was always ready to take pictures and had a beautiful smile. His death left a void in the lives of his loved ones, including his children.

On that Friday night, a burst of gunfire erupted in a parking lot in the 3300 block of Roosevelt Road in Little Rock, Arkansas. When Little Rock police officers arrived, they found Andre Luckey and another man, 44-year-old Jimmie Johnson, suffering from gunshot wounds. One of the men was pronounced dead at the scene, while the other was transported to a local hospital, where he later died from his injuries. Both men were then taken to the Arkansas State Crime Lab for autopsies.

The police investigation into the double homicide quickly led to the identification of two suspects. Authorities first arrested 22-year-old Paul Williams in connection with the shooting. He was charged with two counts of first-degree murder and taken to the Pulaski County jail.

Investigators also identified a second suspect, Paul Brown. After a search, police arrested the 46-year-old on February 1, 2022. Brown was charged with two counts of capital murder and was also booked into the Pulaski County jail. As of February 2022, both suspects were in custody as the case proceeded through the legal system.
