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.
