Exchange of gunfire in Arkansas leaves 2 men dead, police say

The Pine Bluff Police Department is investigating after gunfire late Thursday left two men dead.

Officers were called shortly before midnight Thursday to Suzanne Apartments at 2123 S. Blake St. in reference to shots fired in the area, according to a report.

One of the homicide victims, 26-year-old Cameron Haywood, was found bleeding from his head while lying on his back by the stairway of the apartment complex, police said.

An officer noted in the report that a silver-and-black recover was lying beside him to his left.

A few feet away, the second victim, 28-year-old Demarco Wylie, was found face down in bushes with a black handgun underneath him, according to authorities.

The victims were pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

“It is still early in the investigation but it appears that the males may have shot each other,” Pine Bluff police said in a statement.

The two guns were recovered from the scene and were being sent to the state Crime Laboratory to determine their role in the shooting.
