THE KEY SUSPECT IN A MURDER/ARSON COMMITTED just over a week ago in Garland County, Arkansas, was killed in a gunbattle with police last night in a Hot Springs hotel.
The crimes in Pearcy included the arson of a mobile home residence and the murders of the four people inside as well as the shooting death of their next-door neighbor. One of the victim’s automobile was also torched a few minutes later several miles away. See the report from AllHeadlineNews HERE.
The police task force working on the case recieved information yesterday that the unidentified-suspect was registered in a motel on the main highway leading into Hot Springs and they converged on and surrounded the room where he was lodged. As they attempted to move in on him, he started shooting at the police, hitting two of them before they killed him in the return gunfire.
