Officers were called to a shooting near that intersection about 6:24 a.m., police spokesman Sgt. Brian Dedrick said.

They found Theodis Jones,32, of North Little Rock with at least one gunshot wound in the chest. Jones was unresponsive when police and paramedics found him and was pronounced dead on the way to the hospital.

Detectives were busy Saturday working with their few potential witnesses, Dedrick said, and couldn’t offer a reason for the shooting or a description of who shot Jones.

Jones was killed less than a week after Danielle Moore, 21, was fatally shot at her 800 N. Beech St. apartment Feb. 12.

On Monday, police identified Jeremiah Glasper, 17, as a person of interest in Moore’s slaying.

No arrests have been made in either shooting, and police said anyone with information in either case should contact North Little Rock detectives.
