Inside the room, officers discovered a man, later identified as Learthur Shelton Jr., 32, suffering from a gunshot wound in his head, according to Little Rock police spokesman Mark Edwards. Police said Shelton was transported to UAMS Medical Center, where he later died.
Acie Cummins IV, 44, of Little Rock was arrested Saturday and charged with first-degree murder and possession of firearms by certain persons, according to police.
Cummins was booked into the Pulaski County jail, where he remained Tuesday in lieu of $1 million bond, an online inmate roster shows.
