Authorities responded at 5:13 p.m. to UAMS Medical Center, where they met with the victim, 22-year-old Xavier Williams of North Little Rock.
Williams told police that he had dropped off his girlfriend at work around 8 a.m. that morning and began traveling to his cousin’s residence on Woodson Road.
While walking to his cousin's house from a park in the 7000 block of Woodson Road, Williams said, he heard gunshots, ran back to his vehicle and returned to his home in North Little Rock.
