In the early morning hours of Tuesday, December 23, 2025, a violent incident unfolded in the Southwest Division of Little Rock, Arkansas, that resulted in the untimely death of an 18-year-old male named Brandon Johnson. At approximately 5:31 a.m., patrol officers from the Little Rock Police Department were dispatched to a residence located at 27 Falcon Court following reports of a shooting.
Upon their arrival at the scene, law enforcement officials discovered Johnson suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. Emergency medical personnel, including MEMS and rescue teams, responded promptly to the location to render aid, but despite their efforts, Johnson succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene.
Following the confirmation of the death, officers secured the area to preserve evidence, and notifications were sent to Homicide Detectives and the Crime Scene Search Unit, who arrived shortly thereafter to commence a thorough investigation. The Pulaski County Coroner later transported Johnson's body to the Arkansas State Crime Lab for an autopsy to officially determine the cause of death, while authorities began the process of notifying his next of kin. The investigation was spearheaded by the Major Crimes Division, which worked to piece together the events that led to the fatal shooting in the quiet residential cul-de-sac.
As the investigation progressed, detectives identified a suspect in connection with the homicide. Jeremiah Lowery, also 18 years old, was developed as the primary person of interest in the case. Law enforcement officers located Lowery and took him into custody without further incident. He was subsequently transported to the Major Crimes Division for questioning and further investigative procedures. Following the interview and the gathering of sufficient evidence, Lowery was formally charged with Capital Murder. He was then processed and transported to the Pulaski County Regional Jail, where he was held as the legal proceedings began.
