Lavor White, a 39-year-old Black male, was shot on February 21, 2024, in Little Rock and later died from his wounds. Just after midnight, patrol officers responded to reports of gunfire near West 24th Street and Lewis Street and were directed to a home at 4209 West 24th Street. Inside, they found 63-year-old Nicky Lamar dead from apparent gunshot wounds. Around the same time, White arrived at UAMS with gunshot injuries; despite treatment, he did not survive.
Detectives secured the scene, canvassed for witnesses and surveillance footage, and noted early on that the two shootings were connected. The city later publicly identified White as the second victim and listed him as a North Little Rock resident.
Local coverage that morning and in the days that followed echoed the timeline: officers discovered Lamar at the West 24th Street address and, soon after, a second, wounded man reached the hospital and died. Memorial listings recorded White’s death in Little Rock on the same date, while community reports and follow-up pieces emphasized that both men were killed in the same incident on West 24th Street.
Authorities did not immediately name a shooter. As of the most recent public statements tied to this case, police said the investigation was ongoing and did not announce any arrests or publicly identify suspects connected to the killings of White and Lamar on February 21, 2024.
