Authorities have arrested a 21-year-old man in a May homicide in North Little Rock.

The North Little Rock Police Deparment said Juwon Cooper was arrested without incident about 6 a.m. at his home at 821 Greenlea Drive in the city.

He faces a charge of first-degree murder in the May 27 killing of 42-year-old Corey Renard Britt. Police at the time said Britt appeared to have been shot.

Britt's body was found by his brother at 606 Rose Lane, where Britt lived.

A police spokesman said information on the motive and how Cooper was identified as a suspect was not immediately available.

Pulaski County jail records show Cooper was booked in shortly before 10 a.m. and was being held without bail pending an initial court appearance.
