LITTLE ROCK — Man shot; caller says wrong person

While on the way to the hospital to get treated for a gunshot wound Saturday night, a Little Rock man got a phone call: it was his shooter.

Isaac Tyler, 20, told police that the man responsible for the non-fatal bullet wound to the back of his head thought he was someone else, and the shooting was a case of a “mistaken” identity, reports said.

Tyler told police he went with an acquaintance known only to him as “A1” to the 2800 block of West 13th Street at around 11:30 p.m. to buy some marijuana.

When they stopped their vehicle, three men “came out from between the houses on the south side” of the street and opened fire on the car.

Tyler said one of the men was armed with what appeared to be an “AK-47” andthat he was hit in the back of the head.

“A1” took Tyler to UAMS Medical Center in Little Rock, where he was treated and released.

The shooting remains under investigation.
