Officers were called to a disturbance at a residence at 5822 MacArthur Drive, west of Parkway Drive, about 6 p.m. Saturday, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette previously reported.

Police found Austin nearby at a Valero gas station at MacArthur Drive and Military Drive. He was taken to UAMS Medical Center in Little Rock, where he later died.

The suspect had been in a domestic dispute with his girlfriend at the home on MacArthur Drive, police said Saturday.

Family members said Austin was shot after he rushed to the home to help.

Duncan also will face charges of committing a terroristic act and possession of a firearm by a certain person, authorities said, noting he should be considered "armed and dangerous."
