At 9:55 pm on Friday, November 29, 2024, patrol officers with the 12th Street Division responded to a shooting at Paris Towers, located at 1800 Broadway Street. When officers arrived, they discovered 40-year-old Malous Kelly suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. MEMS responded and transported Kelly to a local hospital where he later succumbed to his injuries.  Subsequently, secured the area, and notified Homicide Detectives. Later, the Pulaski County Coroner responded to the hospital and transported the deceased victim to the Arkansas State Crime Lab for an autopsy and next of kin was notified.

The Crime Scene Search Unit responded shortly after Homicide Detectives. A preliminary investigation began; however, a short time later, officers on scene were approached by Wendall Piggee who stated he was involved in the incident. Mr. Piggee was then taken into custody and transported to the Major Crimes Division where he was questioned and released pending further investigation. This investigation is ongoing and occurred in the 12th Street Division.
