A Little Rock man was shot Thursday during a reported robbery attempt outside his house.
Kevin Shelton, 23, told investigators he was at the back of 3119 Tatum around 5 p.m. when two armed men approached and tried to rob him.
Shelton said he ran toward the front of his house when the two men opened fire, hitting him in the upper left thigh, according to a Little Rock Police Department report. The would-be robbers then ran off and have not been arrested.
Shelton was taken to Baptist Hospital with injuries not believed to be life-threatening.
Police say they found a small baggie containing white powder in the area where Shelton ran, though the report does not indicate whether the suspected cocaine was tied to the incident.
