“I’m extremely saddened and angered by the violence that took place in our city over the weekend. To the families whose loved ones died at the hands of someone else, I offer my deepest condolences. I’m praying for you. We have endured too much senseless death and harm in Little Rock, and while we have seen a downward trend in violent crime since May, we must do more to put a stop to it all.
