A 22-year-old told police he was shot Sunday night by a stranger while walking down the road in south Little Rock.
Eric Cooper, of Little Rock, told police he was walking down Dreher Lane near Geyer Springs Road, just south of Interstate 30, around 10 p.m. when a car started to follow him, according to a police report.
Cooper said he and a person he did not know in the vehicle “exchanged words,” according to the report, before the stranger started shooting.
The stranger was described as a black male who stood about 5 foot 6 and wore a black denim jacket with dark jeans. The gunman had a tattoo on top of his shaved head, according to the report.
Officers responded to CHI St. Vincent Infirmary where Cooper was being treated for gunshot wounds in the wrist, calf and lower torso, according to the report.
Cooper was in stable condition, according to the report, and the investigation is ongoing.
