Police have identified the man who was fatally shot in Hot Springs on Wednesday night.
In a Thursday afternoon news release, officials said they received a call about 10:30 p.m. from a resident on Garens Street, who said a man was outside of his house claiming he had been shot.
Police and emergency management personnel responded and transported 32-year-old Charles David Hill of Hot Springs to CHI St. Vincent, where he died, according to the release.
Police said they have linked Hill to another person who was also found shot late Wednesday. When responding to a single-vehicle accident about 10:15 p.m. in the 600 block of Higdon Ferry Road, they found "a large amount of blood" but no driver.
The driver was later identified as 20-year-old Demetrius Perry of Hot Springs, police said. According to the release, Perry was taken to a Malvern hospital and later transferred to Baptist Health Medical Center in Little Rock, where he was interviewed by detectives before entering surgery for a gunshot wound to the arm.
Police believe the two victims were together on Garens Street shortly before they were shot.
Anyone with information is asked to call Hot Springs police at (501) 321-6789.
