Carla Anderson, a 46-year-old woman from Little Rock, Arkansas, was found deceased on January 30, 2025, at 1812 Reservoir Road. Authorities responded to an emergency medical call at approximately 11:08 p.m., where they discovered Anderson had suffered a fatal gunshot wound. The scene was immediately secured, and homicide detectives, along with the Crime Scene Search Unit, launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding her death.
Following the incident, the Pulaski County
Coroner transported Anderson's body to the Arkansas State Crime Lab for an autopsy. Detectives canvassed the area, searched for surveillance footage, and interviewed witnesses in an effort to gather evidence. The investigation led to the arrest of 51-year-old Jerry Bowser Jr., a resident of Little Rock, who was charged with capital murder in connection to Anderson's death. Authorities later confirmed that Bowser Jr. had been arrested in another state and was awaiting extradition to Little Rock to face charges.
At this time, law enforcement officials continue to investigate the case, urging anyone with relevant information to contact the Major Crimes Division. Further details regarding potential motives, legal proceedings, or additional suspects have not been disclosed.
