Police hope victim of gunfire can help
Little Rock police are searching for four black males in the wake of a Monday night shooting at the Barrington Hills Apartments.
Police responded to a report of shots fired at approximately 9:44 p.m. at the complex, located at 1221 Reservoir Road in Little Rock.
According to a police report, Jarvis Milton, 20, was shot while seated inside a Dodge Charger in a parking lot outside the complex, located at 1221 Reservoir Road in Little Rock. According to the report, Milton's vehicle then struck another vehicle, which then struck a third vehicle.
Witnesses at the scene Monday night said three males, two of whom had handguns, had approached Milton's vehicle before shots were fired. The three males, plus an additional male, fled the scene in a red Chevrolet Impala after the shooting, investigators said.
Milton was transported by ambulance to St. Vincent Infirmary and was listed in critical but stable condition Tuesday, Little Rock Police spokesman Cassandra Davis said.
Davis said officers interviewed people in the area after responding to the emergency call, but they weren't able to interview Milton Monday night because of the extent of his injuries. Davis said Tuesday morning that investigators would attempt to interview Milton later in the day to "develop a suspect based on information Mr. Milton will hopefully be able to provide."
After crash, driver said to bury items

A witness told police that Joshua Cox, 35, buried several items in a flower bed after the crash in the 8200 block of Geyer Springs Road, according to an arrest report. He initially tried to flee on foot but stopped because he was hurt and began digging, the witness said.
Officers responded to the crash about 12:48 p.m. and reported finding 4 grams of methamphetamine buried in the flower bed. They recovered a digital scale, syringes and baggies from a backpack in Cox's vehicle, according to the report.

Information on the other driver involved in the crash was unavailable.
The severity of Cox's injuries wasn't noted in the report. He was booked into the Pulaski County jail about six hours after the crash and remained there in lieu of bond late Tuesday.
