LRPD still investigating the death of a LRSD student in January 2025

Jamiah Greene - Her death in January is still under investigation by LRPD

On January 16, 2025 we received several messages about the death of a 13 year old female. According to the messages, she was a student at Little Rock School District's Dr. Marion G. Lacey K-8 Academy.


We searched on Facebook and found several posts about the incident. We sent LRPD Chief Heath Helton a text message about the incident. Helton stated he was looking into the matter and he had detectives working on it.


     

Our post about the incident went viral.

 

LRSD went into damage control mode and attempted to discredit the information we shared on social media. The sketchy LRSD superintendent told news media that much misinformation is being shared about what occurred and LRPD wanted to provide clarity, but they couldn't discuss the matter due to student privacy regulations.

What happened was that she was in the school gym for cheer practice and a male student attacked her. According to an LRSD teacher that reached out to us, no school staff was present when the incident occurred and she did have a medical condition, asthma and heart condition, and that the attack knocked her out or triggered an event connected to her medical issue.


Another parent posted this. 


LRSD set up a meeting at the school to discuss the incident, but did not say much due to that student privacy regulation.

 



The principal of the school, Don Porter, continued the narrative that false information was being shared (the attack on the student).


If the student just had an asthma attack and there was no attack on her by another student, why would law enforcement investigate the matter? And if it was a natural death why has that information been released? 

 

If an autopsy was conducted by the State Medical Examiner, the results would be known by this time. And according to the Pulaski County Coroner's Office, her body did in fact go to the State Medical Examiner for an autopsy.
 
 
Since February, we have attempted to get records from LRPD concerning the death. The most recent attempt was yesterday. LRPD advised us that they cannot provide any records at this time, except for the LRPD Incident Report, due to an open investigation. 
 
 
 
LRPD provided us with a copy of their incident report back in February.
  

 
  
According to our LRPD sources, the process is that once they have completed their investigation, their file is submitted to the prosecuting attorney for review.
 
If LRPD has completed their investigation, they cannot withhold those records. 
 
If the prosecuting attorney has the case under review, they can claim an open investigation exemption, but LRPD cannot.
 
The fact that LRPD is refusing to release records indicated that they found probable  cause to file charges against her attacker. Due to circumstances, the prosecuting attorney will decide if any charges will be filed.
 
Little Rock had 10 documented homicides in January 2025 breaking records held since 1990.   

An 11th homicide occurring in January 2025 would break records held since

We pointed this out in this story in February.

The Scott Administration and it's LRPD are guilty of using skewed statistics in false messaging saying crime is on a decline in the safe city of Little Rock.

Recently the feckless mayor issued statements about lower crime and the following week asked city directors to adopt a stricter curfew for juveniles after two weekends of criminal activities perpetrated by juveniles in the downtown and River Market area.

Each killing of human being in the city of Little Rock, even by a cop, points to how dangerous the city really is.  

Telling lies, cooking the books on crime numbers, and gaslighting is what the MAGA operative Scott Administration does. Total bamboozlement.

***UPDATE 06/03/26***

For almost a year,  have been asking LRPD to provide a copy of the criminal file they sent to the Pulaski County Prosecuting Attorney regarding this homicide.

They claim the records are exempt from disclosure as the investigation is on-going because the Prosecuting Attorney has not made a decision about criminal charges being filed.

The most recent denial had a new twist, a slip-up if you will, LRPD said they could not disclose the file due to an on-going investigation and child maltreatment (A.C.A. 12-18-104).


A.C.A. § 12-18-104 refers to the confidentiality provisions within the Arkansas Child Maltreatment Act. It mandates that all data, records, reports, and documents compiled during a child maltreatment investigation are strictly confidential.


Did LRPD find that the LRSD teacher that failed to supervise the students was negligent and hence the child maltreatment finding?



Chck back for updates.

Little Rock Mayor's wedding announcement leads to a discovery of another legal blunder of Antwan Phillips

The feckless Little Rock mayor made this post of Facebook yesterday. So this morning we went to the County Clerk's website and grabbed a copy of his marriage license application. We immediately noticed that both Scott and his bride to be listed the same residence address - 8101 Kanis Oaks Drive. Scott's residence on his voter records is on Edwina Drive in Southwest Little Rock. Scott's bride-to-be is registered to vote in Florida. More about her later on in the story. So we Googled that address. According to records on file with Pulaski County, the property is owned by DRS Family Trust. You might wonder who is DRS Family Trust. Well dear readers, it's the mayor. The trust uses the middle initials of the mayor ("D" for Derrick) and his future spouse ("R" for Renee). the "S" is for Scott. How did we come to that conclusion? Well dear readers, it's from the mortgage the feckless mayor took out on his new home. And the feckless mayor also ...
