Suspect in Alleged Home Invasion Killed by Gunfire

Sheriff’s deputies have identified a man shot and killed while allegedly trying to break into a home in Pulaski County Wednesday night.

Right now, deputies believe the incident was a home invasion where the victim allegedly tried to kick down the door to a home, when gunfire erupted.

When authorities arrived at 3800 Vinson Road, they found a man lying on the side of the road with a gunshot wound to the head. The victim was identified as 20-year-old Stephen Woods of Little Rock. He later died at a local hospital.

Detectives believe Woods was running from the residence when several gunshots were fired--some from the house, and some toward the house.

(John Rehrauer, Pulaski Co. Sheriff's Department) “The homeowner said there were a number of people outside he saw. We believe there are involved and are actively looking for them and running down all leads."

A neighborhood resident says he's shocked someone would randomly target a home on Vinson Road.

(Matt Cicirello, Resident) “This has been a very peaceful neighborhood, no trouble whatsoever. We love it around here, this is the last thing we want."

The investigation continues.
