30-year-old man shot, killed at Little Rock apartment complex, police say

A 30-year-old man was killed late Tuesday at an apartment complex in Little Rock, authorities said.

Officers responded shortly before 11 p.m. to 2123 Labette Manor Drive, the listed address for Westbridge Apartments, after hearing gunshots in the area, Little Rock Police Department spokesman Lt. Steve McClanahan said.

Paul Gonzales of Jacksonville was found shot in the breezeway of the complex by officers patrolling the area, McClanahan said in a Wednesday morning news conference.

Gonzales was pronounced dead at the scene and was transported to the state medical examiner's office for an autopsy.

According to the spokesman, detectives are not sure why Gonzales was at the complex.

Witnesses reportedly heard gunshots but no one saw the shooting, a report released Wednesday afternoon states.

No suspect or motive information is known, McClanahan said.

The killing was the first in Little Rock not involving an officer since Aug. 20, when a mother found her two children and their father dead inside a west Little Rock home.

There have been 47 slayings in Arkansas' capital city this year.
