No charges filed after man shot in face in Little Rock, police say

Little Rock police said Tuesday that charges won't be filed in a Monday shooting in part because the victim, who was shot in the face, did not want to pursue them.

Officers were called at 5:23 p.m. to a shooting in the 2900 block of Monroe Street, according to a dispatch log.

Terry Jones, 22, was reportedly taken to UAMS Medical Center after being shot in the face. He was listed in stable condition and speaking when authorities arrived, said officer Steve Moore, a department spokesman.

A witness told police he saw a masked gunman creep up behind Jones, who had his back turned, the report said. The witness said the person shot Jones and ran away.

When speaking with Jones, he expressed he did not want to press charges and "would not cooperate," Moore said Tuesday morning.

On Monday, police pursued a vehicle that matched the shooter's vehicle description. A 26-year-old man inside the vehicle was arrested on charges unrelated to the shooting, including drug possession and fleeing, records show.
