On a Thursday in Little Rock, Arkansas, the quiet of an apartment complex was broken by the sound of gunshots, leading to a grim discovery. On November 10, 2022, police responded to a call at 13500 Chenal Parkway. Upon arrival, a witness directed them to a lake on the property where a vehicle had plunged into the water.
With the assistance of the Pulaski County Sheriff's Office water patrol, the vehicle was recovered from the lake.
Inside, authorities found the body of 57-year-old Roy King, a resident of nearby Jacksonville. Mr. King, a male, was pronounced dead at the scene. The subsequent investigation by homicide detectives and the crime scene unit treated his death as a homicide.
The Pulaski County Coroner's office transported Mr. King's body to the State Crime Lab to determine the exact cause of death through an autopsy. In the days following the discovery, the Little Rock Police Department appealed to the public for any information regarding the incident, indicating that the circumstances surrounding Mr. King's death were still under active investigation. To date, there has been no public announcement of any arrests made in connection with the homicide, nor have any potential suspects been named. The case remains an open investigation, leaving a story without an ending and a community waiting for answers.
