BRINKLEY, Ark. – A man is in police custody, suspected in a parking lot shooting that left another man dead.
Arkansas State Police say Bernard Pearson, 33, of Brinkley was shot shortly before 6 p.m. Thursday in the parking lot of the Brinkley Housing Authority Office, 418 Chicago St.
Pearson was still alive when police arrived but died later at a Forrest City hospital. His body has been sent to the Arkansas State Crime Laboratory in Little Rock for autopsy.
