Little Rock police respond Friday to a homicide reported in the 6300 block of Colonel Glenn Road.

Little Rock police said a homicide was reported Friday evening, marking the third slaying in the city this week.

A department spokesman at the scene in the 6300 block of Colonel Glenn Road said two men were shot, one fatally. The wounded individual has injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening and was taken to UAMS Medical Center.

"We have little suspect information to go on at this time," Lt. Michael Ford said.

Dispatch records show a call of "unknown trouble" came in about 5:45 p.m. from the Colonel Glenn address.

The killing is the 18th homicide in Arkansas' capital city this year and the third this week.

About 9:40 p.m. Tuesday, officers were called to the 4200 block of West 24th St., where they found three people shot in the back bedroom of the house, according to a news release from the Police Department.

All were taken to hospitals, where one victim, 18-year-old Brandon Brooks of Little Rock, died from his injuries.

Marquise Smith, 17, was charged as an adult with one count of first-degree murder and two counts of first-degree battery in that shooting.

And Thursday, officers found a woman and her live-in boyfriend dead in an apparent murder-suicide. Authorities arrived shortly after 6:30 p.m. to a house in the 8600 block of Edwina Drive, where they located 47-year-old Shirley Kirklin, and her boyfriend, 58-year-old Timothy Williams, according to a report.

Initial findings show Williams shot Kirklin before fatally wounding himself, the city's Police Department said.
