LITTLE ROCK — Authorities today released the identity of a man who purportedly barged into a Martin Street house and wielded a knife before being fatally shot by the homeowner.
Terry Daniel, 30, was shot once by 65-year-old Samuel Johnson Sr. just before 2 p.m. Thursday.
According to a Little Rock Police Department report, Daniel "busted through [the] front door" of Johnson's home at 2018 S. Martin St. and began making unspecified demands.
Daniel pushed Johnson and then retrieved a knife from the kitchen, police said.
"Daniel made aggressive gestures at Mr. Johnson with the knife and Mr. Johnson fired one shot striking and killing Mr. Daniel," according to the report.
Johnson was questioned and released with no charges filed, though police say the case will be reviewed by the prosecutor.
Authorities do not know why Daniel barged into the residence. Johnson told investigators that Daniel is " a male he knows from the neighborhood," according to the report.
