Stephen Carr Death News

The Fayetteville Police Department said in a press release that the incident occurred around 9:42 p.m. When officers inside the station heard shots, they went out and heard additional shots before meeting a suspect behind the police department fleeing the area. After a confrontation where the suspect was shot dead, officers discovered that officer Stephen Carr shot inside his patrol vehicle.

“It appears the suspect came into the back parking lot and just executed my officer,”  Fayetteville Police Chief Mike Reynolds said at a brief news conference.

The fatal Arkansas shooting comes after the shooting death of a Houston police officer on Saturday night while responding to a domestic violence call.

Reynolds told reporters that the suspect, 35-year-old London Phillips, of Fayetteville, was chased into an alley between the police department and the city prosecutor’s office. Officers then “engaged the suspect,” and shots were fired, injuring Phillips.

Three minutes after the shooting was reported, police said that emergency medical personnel responded to the scene, but both the officer and suspected shooter died of their injuries.

“Evidence shows that Officer Stephen Carr was ambushed and executed while sitting in his patrol vehicle”, police said. Reynolds said the officer had been waiting for his partner in the parking lot when the shooting happened.

The gunfire sparked a scare at the nearby city square, where a crowd was taking in the Lights of the Ozarks installation and heard the gunshots, the Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported.

Investigation Reports

The police department said in a news release that a preliminary investigation also shows that two officers, whose names will not be released at this time, fired at the suspect.


“These officers have been placed on paid administrative leave in compliance with city and police department policy until the Chief of Police is able to review the findings of the investigation,” the department said.
