Vigil to be held Thursday for NLR woman killed in 2013 shooting

A vigil will be held Thursday evening for a North Little Rock woman who was fatally shot Aug. 14, 2013, while driving with her 11-month-old daughter in the back seat.

Samantha Olson was killed in what appeared to be a random shooting while driving past a Walgreens store located at the intersection of McCain and JFK boulevards. She was 31.

While the shooter still hasn't been caught, officers continue to investigate Olson’s death. There is a $15,000 reward for anyone with information information leading to an arrest. The shooter's vehicle is described as a maroon F-150 truck built sometime between 2004 and 2008, police said.

The vigil will be held at 7:30 p.m. outside the Walgreens where Olson was shot.
