Little Rock house fire leaves 4 dead, investigation underway

According to autopsy reports, the victims found in a Little Rock house fire all died by gunshot. The investigation into what happened is still ongoing.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Update: Little Rock police have confirmed that autopsy results showed three of the victims died by gunshot and a fourth died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. 

The identities of the victims have not yet been released. 

Four people are dead after an overnight house fire in Little Rock.

According to reports, the fire happened around 2 a.m. on Friday in a home located on Greenfield Drive.

Carmesha Parker, who lives in the neighborhood, witnessed the fire after receiving a call from her husband.

"My husband was on his way to work this morning and he told me," Parker said. "I came around here and they were putting the fire out."

Parker has lived in the neighborhood for 25 years and passes the home frequently on her daily walks.

Parker said she didn't know much about the people who lived there, but they shared plenty of conversations about their pets. 

"The family that lived here was a beautiful family, quiet," Parker said. "[They] had a lot of cats that my daughter and I love."

Little Rock police and fire crews are working together on the investigation.

Little Rock Code Enforcement spent Friday morning boarding up the home, which is now deemed unsafe. 

Parker said her heart goes out to the family and is devastated.

 "You can see your neighbors, speak to your neighbors while you walk in the neighborhood," Parker said. "Then the next minute, tragically, they're gone."

There is no other information at this time, but we will work to provide more information as it becomes available.
