Little Rock police said a 22-year-old man suffering from gunshot wounds died at a Chenal Parkway apartment complex parking lot early Saturday morning.

Police identified the victim on Sunday as James Reed. The department did not release further information, including his city of residence.

Medical personnel were called and later pronounced Reed dead. His body was taken to the state Crime Laboratory for an autopsy, police disclosed.

No arrests have been made.
