Police said a fourth victim has died a day after a shooter opened fire at an Arkansas grocery store, wounding nine others and riddling cars with bullet holes as panicked bystanders scrambled for cover.
The dead were identified as Shirley Taylor, 62, Callie Weems, 23, Roy Sturgis, 50, and Ellen Shrum, 81 — “all civilians,” according to the statement.
The wounded range in age between 20 and 65, police said. Four were still hospitalized, including a woman who was in critical condition.
Police said the suspect is Travis Eugene Posey, 44, of New Edinburg, and he will be charged with four counts of capital murder.
Police have not released a motive. A media briefing to update about the shooting was announced for 2 p.m. Sunday.
Hey the place where my grand parents were born. New Edinburg, AR. A wide spot in the road between Warren, AR and Fordyce AR. It mainly acts as a place to slow down due to the reduced speed limit for no real reason. Fun fact about that road. I haven’t been that way in over a decade but there was a sign/monument on the road marking the birth place of Bear Bryant. Also not far from Kingsland, AR the birth place of Johnny Cash. Both of those people did the smart thing. The smart thing was to leave Cleveland county.
