Authorities in Arkansas said they received an emergency call Sunday night on an apparent drive-by shooting that left two people dead and one wounded.
Officers with the Pine Bluff Police Department (PBPD) responded to the shooting that happened late Sunday at around 11:30 p.m. at a home in Pine Bluff.
Once officers arrived, they found 37-year-old Terrance Givens dead of apparent gunshot wounds inside the residence. Givens was pronounced dead at the scene, police said in a news release.
Two more people at the residence had been shot and were transported to Jefferson Regional Medical Center. Authorities identified the two victims as 34-year-old Broderick Givens and a 4-year-old female juvenile.
The female juvenile was pronounced dead by an emergency room doctor shortly after arriving at the hospital. The 4-year-old died from gunshot wounds to the upper torso, police said.
Broderick Givens is currently in a stable condition after surgery for his wounds and is expected to survive, according to Pine Bluff Police Lt. David De Foor.
There was no information on suspects or motives as of Monday morning, and the incident is still an active investigation, police said.
“They’re looking at a couple of different angles on it,” De Foor told Arkansas Online. “They don’t know if this is going to be a gang-related type of thing or if it’s going to be something else because that house, according to the rumors we’ve heard, had gotten to be kind of a party house, so we don’t know if someone got into an argument there or exactly what the deal is.”
Reporter Susan El Khoury posted several pictures of the residence on Twitter with the caption: “This is the home off 6th Ave in Pine Bluff where a man and 4-year-old girl were killed in a drive by shooting late Sunday night. Another man is in the hospital fighting for his life.”
Authorities are offering a reward for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of a suspect.
Police said the current incident is Pine Bluff’s seventh and eighth homicides of 2020. Pine Bluff is about 40 miles southeast of Little Rock.
The department added that anyone with information on the shooting should contact the Detective Division at 870-730-2090 or Dispatch at 870-541-5300.
