Man arrested in Tuesday fatal shooting of woman at Little Rock apartments

Little Rock police have arrested a man in the Tuesday killing of a woman at a southwest Little Rock apartment complex, a Wednesday post from the department on X, formerly Twitter, states.

Officers arrested Earnest Holmes, 42, of Little Rock on Tuesday, according to the Pulaski County jail's online inmate roster.

Police have yet to publicly identify the victim, who was found near 4 Birdie Lane, the post on X states. The address given for the shooting is at the Eagle Hill Apartments.

Police spokesman Mark Edwards said Tuesday that the shooting happened at an apartment complex, but it wasn't yet clear if the suspect or victim lived there.

Holmes faces a capital murder charge and two counts of committing a terroristic act, the Little Rock police post states.
