Little Rock police are investigating after finding a 45-year-old man lying dead next to a motorcycle late Saturday night.
Malik Mumit of Little Rock had been shot multiple times and was pronounced dead by emergency personnel, police said in a news release. Officers located him at 1721 Pinewood Drive after responding to a call of shots fired at 10:42 p.m., according to a police report.
Lt. Steve McClanahan, a spokesman for Little Rock police, said where Mumit was found is a well-known area for drug sales, so detectives are investigating the case from a narcotics angle.
Per the report, there's no information on a suspected shooter. McClanahan said one person of interest was questioned but then released.
Police secured the motorcycle, a 2016 Harley Davidson Road Glide, processed evidence and spoke to witnesses, the report said. The Pulaski County coroner will conduct an autopsy on Mumit.
Mumit’s death marks the 25th homicide of 2016 in Little Rock.
