Little Rock police have arrested a Pine Bluff man in the shooting of a 38-year-old man earlier this month, according to an arrest report.
John Webb, 36, is accused of shooting Michael Thomas Jr. on May 9, according to an affidavit obtained Tuesday.
According to the court records, Thomas identified Webb as the shooter in a photographic lineup and told authorities Webb "ambushed" him while he was at West 26th and South Gaines streets. Police found the spot and Thomas told authorities he was at the intersection to return a cellphone to Webb's girlfriend, according to the documents.
Thomas, according to the records, had two gunshot wounds in his left shoulder, with one of the rounds breaking his shoulder bone.
The affidavit said Thomas also reported that Webb shot at his vehicle on May 5.
In that incident, Thomas told police that he had picked up Webb's girlfriend and dropped her off, according to the affidavit.
The victim reported that a man stepped outside and started shooting, according to the affidavit. Thomas said he drove away, but the gunman jumped into a vehicle and chased him, the court documents say.
Thomas told authorities the gunman crashed the vehicle during the incident, the affidavit stated.
Webb was arrested last week on several felonies, including one count of first-degree battery and possession of a firearm by certain persons.
He was listed on the Pulaski County jail roster Tuesday night.
