Who Are The Five Suspects In The Shooting at Arkansas Casino?
The alleged suspects in question have been identified as:
Tirek Langel (age 22)
Kuro’n Lavell Brown (age 21)
Brandon Burnett (age 27)
Joshua Mcafee (age 27)
Dontarius Slater (age 26)
All of these suspects are wanted for committing first-degree battery. The incident took place around 11 p.m. Members of the security staff at Saracen Casino Resort escorted this group off the premises due to a disturbance inside.
The suspects then went to the parking lot. At that time, two of the suspects pulled out a gun. They started shooting at the security guards before driving away. They were spotted leaving the scene in a dark-colored passenger car. It could have been a relatively newer Nissan Altima according to police reports.
One of the casino’s security guards was reportedly shot in the abdomen. He was later transported to an area hospital for medical attention. His injuries were not classified as life-threatening.
Bullets from the suspects’ guns also damaged a pair of cars in the casino parking lot. An exterior wall of the casino was also damaged in the incident.
The police investigation is ongoing at this time. However, the following statement was released by the casino:
“The safety and security of our guests and our staff is always our highest priority. The relationship with our local law enforcement is incredibly strong. And we have been actively working alongside them since this incident occurred.”
The statement went on to add:
“Cameras capture multiple angles of this property, both inside and outside, and that includes last night’s suspects. We are in the process of reviewing video with law enforcement as we speak. And will be fully cooperating with the investigation moving forward.”
