A shooting early Saturday in Stamps left one teenager dead and another wounded, according to a news release from the Arkansas State Police.
Stamps police around 1:24 a.m. responded to a report of shots fired near a block party on Second Street and learned that Jaquarious Easter, 18, of Waldo and a 16-year-old from East Camden had been shot and taken to a nearby hospital.
The 16-year-old was not named in the release.
Easter was pronounced dead shortly after the shooting while the 16-year-old was taken to Arkansas Children’s Hospital in Little Rock for treatment of wounds that authorities did not think were life-threatening.
State police investigators took over the investigation, which was ongoing Saturday afternoon. The release did not give any further details on the shooting or any suspect information.
