We absolutley love our neighborhood. There is no other place in Little Rock that I would want to live. It is very community focused. We have 4th of July parades, movies at the pool during the summer, Safetyfest every fall at our clubhouse, etc. Everyone is very friendly and we have truly enjoyed spending our summer getting to know the people who live in this neighborhood through tennis, swimming, walks, etc. We often hear that we are one of the lower crime neighborhoods in Little Rock, probably because of this community focus.
That is why it was so shocking to learn that the secretary at our clubhouse was murdered at 10am on Tuesday morning. At the time the only information we had was that someone had stolen her vehicle and shot her 5 times while she was in the office. The elementary school, which is in our neighborhood, was on lockdown. She was 30 years old and married with a young son. We just found out that last night an arrest was made and the man lived in our neighborhood. So far we have no other information but we are shocked and saddened.
Please pray for this woman's family. I can't fathom their pain. Pray that they would seek Christ through this tragedy and that the Christians in our neighborhood would be a voice of love and truth. Pray also for any fears that this may cause in us, our neighbors, and our friends. It's always particularly scary when it happens in your back yard.
I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety. -Psalm 4:8
