Updated: Garland County Sheriff's Department asking for help


At approximately 9:45 p.m. last night, March 21, the Garland County Sheriff's Department received a call of a shooting in the area of Icom Place and Tatum Street, in Garland County.

Upon arrival, deputies located a male victim, name unknown, down on the side of the road, who had been assaulted and shot multiple times in a lower extremity. Before being taken by ambulance to an area hospital for treatment, the victim was able to tell deputies that he had pulled up to a residence on Icom Place, to visit a friend, when two black males attacked him, took an undisclosed amount of cash and shot him as he fled on foot.

The victim was able to walk a short distance from the scene and was heard calling out for help by area residents who in turn called authorities.

At this time, Investigators are processing the scene and do not have a motive, or suspects, in the shooting.

Anyone with information on the shooting are asked to contact the Garland County Sheriff’s Department Criminal Investigation Division at 501-622-3690 or our anonymous tip line at 501-622-3674.


Quick update on the shooting from last night;

The victim is 26 year old Travis Skaggs. Although Lt. James "Corky" Martin said "the department does not know Skaggs' current condition, we do know that he has been treated, and currently is in, a Little Rock hospital."

Investigator’s still have no motive or suspects, but the investigation has continued throughout the day.

Martin will update with any information that becomes available as the investigation continues.
