Ja’Corey Holliman, a 16-year-old Black male, was found gravely wounded just after 2 a.m. on July 29, 2023, inside a residence in the 1200 block of Graham Avenue in North Little Rock. Officers had been dispatched after reports of gunfire around 2:03 a.m. They discovered the teenager with at least one gunshot wound and rushed him to a local hospital, where he died from his injuries.
Authorities later identified him as a Little Rock resident.
Detectives processed the home and canvassed the neighborhood while the department announced a homicide investigation. In the days that followed, officials described the case as active and ongoing and asked anyone with information to come forward. Local coverage reiterated that the shooting happened inside the residence, in the quiet pre-dawn hours, and that investigators were working to piece together what led a summer night to end in deadly violence for someone so young.
Publicly available updates have not named a suspect, and there have been no announced arrests tied to Holliman’s killing. Police appeals for tips remained the principal thread of information shared with the community, leaving the circumstances and motive unresolved in the record released to the public.
