Suspect arrested in shooting case
Little Rock police on Monday arrested a man charged in a shooting at a troubled south Little Rock apartment complex last week that left one person critically injured, according to reports from law enforcement.
Officers arrested Maliek Brooks, 20, of Little Rock at 7 Rosemont Drive around 4:30 p.m., serving a warrant for felony first-degree battery connected to a Sept. 27 shooting, according to an arrest report.
Brooks was a suspect in the shooting of Billy Williams, 34, at the Big Country Chateau apartments at 6200 Colonel Glenn Road, according to a police report. Williams was hit in the abdomen and was in critical condition at the time the report was written.
Although the incident report number had been redacted from Brooks' arrest report, and he was not fully identified in the incident report, the victim's address and apartment number on the arrest report match the one given in the incident report, which says a witness referred to the man who shot Williams as "Little Red."
