Details are still unclear after a shooting at a south Little Rock apartment complex left one man dead and another in serious condition early Saturday morning.
Lt. Steve McClanahan, a Little Rock police spokesman, said officers found Michael Lee, 21, of Little Rock dead a little after 4:50 a.m. He was located in the breezeway of Building D at the Spanish Jon’s Apartments complex at 5001 W. 65th St., the incident report said. He had been shot and was nonresponsive.
At 5:04 a.m., police received a call about Anthony Neal, 20, of Little Rock being treated at UAMS for gunshot wounds. McClanahan said detectives determined Lee and Neal were involved in the same shooting.

According to the report, two other individuals took Neal to the hospital. Those two, Ladreka Jackson, 21, and Keith Kynchen, 18, both of Little Rock, were taken into custody on outstanding warrants. Police also impounded the car they used to drive to UAMS.
McClanahan said detectives collected evidence at the scene and have spoken to witnesses, but the motive and specifics of the shooting have yet to be determined. There have been no arrests.
“We have no suspect description to put out,” McClanahan said.
Some of the witness accounts were inconsistent, McClanahan said Saturday morning, and detectives would have to wait to speak with Neal to try to gain a better understanding of why he was shot.
Lee’s death was the 21st homicide of 2016 in Little Rock. It happened the day after the city’s 20th homicide, which occurred Friday morning in west Little Rock.
The 21 homicides in 2016 is one more than there were at this time in 2015, McClanahan said.
