On a Friday evening in Little Rock, Arkansas, the life of 35-year-old Ladarieon Demonn Morris, a Black male, was tragically cut short. On September 30, 2016, authorities were called to a scene near the intersection of 22nd and Valentine Streets where a vehicle had crashed through a fence. Inside the car, they discovered Morris, who had sustained fatal gunshot wounds.
The Little Rock Police Department's investigation revealed that Morris's death was one of two shootings that occurred
within minutes of each other that night. While another shooting resulted in multiple injuries near 13th and Rice, the incident involving Morris proved to be fatal. He was a resident of Little Rock at the time of his passing.
Despite the passage of time, the case surrounding the death of Ladarieon Demonn Morris remains unresolved. His death is listed among the city's unsolved homicides for 2016. To date, no arrests have been made in connection with his killing, and no suspects have been publicly identified by law enforcement. Authorities have continued to appeal to the public for any information that might lead to a breakthrough in the investigation.
