Washington, who had been shot in his arm and leg, was taken by emergency medical personnel to UAMS Medical Center, Burk said. He said the Little Rock teenager did not have life-threatening injuries.

He said a dispute or argument led up to the shooting. The location of the party in west Pulaski County was listed on Airbnb, an online site to rent short-term lodging, and was rented for the night, he said.

Authorities are looking for three black males who fled the shooting scene in a white BMW, Burk said.
