Bloomington, Arkansas – A 56-year-old man was arrested in connection to a Tuesday homicide.
According to a BPD press release, a 29-year-old man was fatally shot, an autopsy confirmed Wednesday.
The suspect, identified as Gary W. O’Bryant, was taken into custody as officers searched the residence in the 900 block of W Graham Drive. Officers located evidence indicating someone had been injured inside and then found the dead man inside a bedroom. An anonymous individual contacted BPD prior at 1:15 a.m. Tuesday to inform them of a suspected shooting.
Officers attempted to contact several residences but were unable to locate anything suspicious. Investigators spoke with two people aware of the shooting a few hours later.
Investigators petitioned the Monroe County Circuit Court, Division III, for a search warrant. The warrant was granted and officers located the man in the residence who had died.
An investigation is ongoing.
