Arkansas man guns down 15-year-old girl for egging son's car as a prank

An Arkansas man is facing first degree murder charges after he allegedly shot a 15-year-old girl to death over the weekend because she was participating in a prank on his 16-year-old son.

Shortly before 1:00 a.m. on Saturday morning, Little Rock Police responded to the Kum & Go gas station after a call about a shooting, according to KARK. Officers found a white Hyundai Sonata with bullet holes, broken glass, and four teens between the ages of 14 and 18.

A 15-year-old girl who was inside the car was identified as Adrian Broadway. She later died from a gunshot wound after being taken to nearby hospital. The car's 18-year-old driver, Dshone Nelson, suffered minor injuries from broken glass.

The surviving teen victims reportedly told police that they had attempted to prank 48-year-old Willie Noble's son by covering his car in eggs and leaves, KTHV reported.

"Apparently Mr. Noble's teenage son had done a prank on some of the kids that were inside the vehicle on Halloween Night," Lieutenant Sidney Allen explained. "As a result they were doing a retaliation prank and it ultimately had deadly results."

After the shooting, the driver attempted to flee the scene to get help.

"It was a joke. We was friends, we was gonna come over there and clean it up," 16-year-old Kortazha Williams, who was in the car, told KTHV. "It was supposed to be a prank; we were supposed to get up right now, and we were supposed to laugh."

Adrian Broadway's family and friends gathered at for a candlelight vigil on Sunday night at Benny Craig Park.

Noble was charged first degree murder, committing a terrorist act, and five counts of aggravated assault.
