During the early morning hours of June 21, 2023, Northwest Patrol Officers responded to 11701 Mara Lynn Road, Northwest Apartments, in reference to a shooting call for service. When officers arrived, they discovered Mr. Immanuel Turner suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. MEMS responded and began treating Mr. Turner before transporting him to a local hospital where he would eventually succumb to his injuries. Later, the Pulaski County Coroner transported the body of Mr. Turner to the Arkansas State Crime Lab for an autopsy and the next of kin was notified.
