Shooting Little Rock..

[Sevens My Charm]

Three shootings in a 24-hour span left one person dead and four others wounded in Little Rock, police said.

In the latest shooting, officers were called about 7:55 p.m. Wednesday to the intersection of South Elm and West 17th streets, police spokesman Steve Moore said. The victim, an 18-year-old man, was taken to the hospital in an ambulance and did not have life-threatening injuries, he said.

The man was walking with others in the area when a person in a vehicle opened fire after rolling down the window just far enough to clear the gun barrel, Moore said. The victim, who was hit once, then walked to the intersection, he said.

About 9:40 p.m. Tuesday, officers were called to the 4204 W. 24th St., where they found three people shot in the back bedroom of the house, according to a news release from the Police Department.

All were taken to hospitals, where one victim, 18-year-old Brandon Brooks of Little Rock, died from his injuries.

The other two -- Sanantonio Cole, 23, of Pine Bluff and a 16-year-old whose name was not released -- were said to be in stable but critical condition Wednesday.

In a social media post Wednesday evening, Little Rock police said they made an arrest in the triple shooting. Marquise Smith, 17, was charged as an adult with one count of first-degree murder and two counts of first-degree battery, according to the post.
