2025 comes in with a bang in the safe city of Little Rock. Three homicides with one committed by a cop.


The very first day of the new year is showing how safe it is in the city of Little Rock.

Three homicides occured with one being done by a LRPD cop.

The first homicide occured in the early hours of New Year's day at #8 Olympia Court in SWLR at the Links at Eagle Hill apartments complex.

At around 12:35 AM., LRPD cops were dispatched to a shooting call at #8 Olympia Court the Links at Eagle Hilland found two adults, male and female, suffering from gunshot wounds and a deceased juvenile male.

The two adult gunshot victims were taken to a local hospital and were in stable condition.

The second homicide occured at 2104 South State Street. At approximately 8:25 PM, LRPD cops were dispatched to a cutting call.

 

When LRPD cops arrived at the scene, they found a deceased adult female suffering from apparent knife wounds.

A few minutes later, LRPD cops found a man covered in blood at Broadway Food Mart at 1624 Broadway Street, a few blocks from the homicide scene on South State Street.

 

Those LRPD cops attempted to speak with the blood soaked man, who they noticied had a weapon in his hand (unclear if it was a knife or gun). As the man approaced the cops he was shot and killed.

We were the first media outlet to report this officer related shooting.


In 2024 the city of Little Rock had 40 homicides.


And without asking LRPD for records, we venture to say that having three homicides on the first day of the year here in Little Rock is a record.

 

When we obtain reports from LRPD about today's homicides, we will update our running record of the homicides that occur in the safe city of Little Rock.

Here's the link to the 2025 file: https://tinyurl.com/LRHomicides25. It will be updated as each new homicide occurs in Little Rock.

If the Scott Administration LRPD is really transparent, they will quickly post the videos from the officer iinvolved shooting.

Don't hold your breath.

The victim in the second homicide of the day was 64 year old Mary Ann Hansen. 

According to a social media post made by Hansen's daughter, the perpetrator was a neighbor of Hansen's that also attacked and injured his own mother.


LRPD has a press conference set for 1:00 PM to give as little information as possible out about the New Year Day killings.
