Pedestrian dies after being struck by vehicle on East Harding Avenue in Pine Bluff

Pine Bluff, Arkansas – the Pine Bluff Police Department was called to a scene of violence at Regional Park. Around 1:00 AM, officers were dispatched following reports of a shooting that disrupted what appeared to be a large gathering near the park’s waterfront.

Upon arrival, law enforcement was directed by bystanders to a particularly grim scene where they discovered a 25-year-old male victim lying in the roadway. He had sustained serious gunshot wounds and was unfortunately pronounced dead at the scene by an official from the Jefferson County Coroner’s office. The identity of the deceased has been withheld pending notification of his family. An autopsy will be conducted at the Arkansas State Crime Laboratory to ascertain the precise cause and manner of his death.

Eyewitnesses recounted that the area was crowded when the gunfire erupted, leading to chaos and panic among the attendees. During the incident, two additional victims were shot. Fortunately, their injuries were deemed non-life-threatening, and they are expected to recover.

As of this writing, the investigation into what has been classified as a homicide is still in its preliminary stages. Details about what precipitated the violence remain unclear, and authorities have yet to identify any suspects. The Pine Bluff Police Department is actively seeking leads and urges anyone with information related to this tragic event to come forward.
