Jacksonville police are asking residents to help put a name to a face after a shooting last Friday, sharing photos of a man they say is a suspect and tying the case to report number 26-02486. Investigators have not announced any arrests or charges and are keeping details tight for now, offering only a detective’s phone number for anyone willing to come forward.
Police release photos and a case number
According to the Jacksonville Police Department, the man shown in the released images is wanted for questioning as a suspect in a shooting that happened last Friday and is associated with report number 26-02486. The post asks anyone with information to call Detective Burke at (501) 982-3191, ext. 6478. Police did not release information about any victims, injuries, or a possible motive, and they did not list any charges in the public notice.
Local push to curb gun violence
The call for tips comes as Pulaski County and surrounding communities work on broader anti-violence strategies, including a Group Violence Intervention program that launched late last year, according to Smart Justice. Officials involved in those efforts have stressed that community cooperation is crucial for cutting off cycles of retaliation and helping detectives develop leads in open shooting cases.
How to share information
Anyone who recognizes the man in the photos or has details about the shooting is asked to call Detective Burke at (501) 982-3191, ext. 6478, and reference report number 26-02486. As of the latest public update, investigators had not announced any charges or additional case details.
Legal note
Being identified as a “suspect” in a police bulletin does not mean a person has been charged or convicted. Prosecutors decide whether to file criminal charges after reviewing the evidence gathered by law enforcement.
