A 12-year-old boy who was in the home was also taken to the hospital for treatment of injuries sustained when one of two intruders struck him with a gun, Little Rock Police Department spokesman officer Steve Moore said. Those injuries were said not to be life-threatening.

A woman who was also in the home was unhurt.

The intruders, who Moore said wore masks, reportedly ransacked part of the residence. No arrests have been made.

"From everything they did, it looks like a robbery," Moore said, noting the investigation was early.

The killing was the 39th of the year in Little Rock.
