North Little Rock police officers are investigating the city's third homicide in less than a week, the most recent of which left one man dead and another with life-threatening gunshot wounds early Sunday, authorities said.
Just before 5 a.m. Sunday, police arrived at the 800 block of Healy Street on the southwest side of town where a shooting had been reported, according to a news release from the department.
Corey Tramel Edwards, 36, was already dead from a gunshot wound, police said. Sandford Slater Jr., 31, had also been shot, and an ambulance rushed him to a hospital, where he was still receiving treatment for what department spokesman Sgt. Amy Cooper called life-threatening injuries.
Little else has been released about the shooting.
