In the late hours of July 28, 2025, the life of 28-year-old Chris Young, a Black / African American male, was tragically cut short in North Little Rock, Arkansas. The incident unfolded around 11:30 p.m. in the 5500 block of Maple Street, where officers responded to reports of a shooting. Upon their arrival, they discovered Young lying in the roadway, having sustained at least one gunshot wound.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The investigation into Young's death quickly identified a suspect. Authorities named 26-year-old Robert Bussey as the individual sought in connection with the fatal shooting. Charges of first-degree murder and the unlawful discharge of a firearm from a vehicle in the first-degree were brought against Bussey. The North Little Rock Police Department initiated a search for him.
A week after the incident, on August 5, 2025, Robert Bussey turned himself into the authorities. Following his surrender, he was taken into custody and transported to the Pulaski County Regional Detention Facility. A judge set his bond at $100,000.
