A Little Rock man died Thursday after his girlfriend told police she accidentally shot him, police said.
Little Rock police responded at 11:47 p.m. Thursday to 8910 Merrivale Drive after Lafe Johnson, 34, told a 911 dispatcher she accidentally shot her boyfriend, 30-year-old Gary Maxwell, Little Rock police spokeswoman Tracy Brandon said.
First responders arrived at the scene approximately four minutes after the 911 call, but Maxwell had already died, Brandon said.
Johnson was initially taken into custody but later released after being interviewed by detectives, Brandon said. When completed, the investigative file will be sent to the prosecuting attorney's office for a file review to determine whether Johnson will face charges.
Maxwell's body was transported to the state Crime Laboratory.
