In the early morning hours of a Tuesday in Little Rock, Arkansas, the life of 20-year-old Jayshawn Rozzae Hammock was tragically cut short. On March 12, 2024, the Little Rock Police Department received a call reporting shots fired in the vicinity of 1817 Reservoir Road. As officers began their investigation at the scene, a separate report came in from a local hospital concerning a male who had arrived with a gunshot wound.
Responding to the hospital, officers found Jayshawn Hammock
receiving emergency medical treatment. Despite the efforts of medical personnel, his injuries proved to be fatal, and he was pronounced deceased. The subsequent investigation by homicide detectives involved canvassing the Reservoir Road area for any potential witnesses and searching for surveillance footage that might shed light on the events that led to the shooting.
The Pulaski County Coroner's Office later transported Hammock's body to the Arkansas State Crime Lab to determine the official cause and manner of death. While the investigation into the death of Jayshawn Hammock remains active and ongoing, authorities have not publicly identified any suspects or made any arrests in connection with the case. The circumstances surrounding the shooting are still being pieced together by law enforcement as they continue to seek information from the public.
