JONESBORO, Ark. — A 16-year-old suspect was arrested in connection with the shooting incident from Wednesday at an apartment complex across the street from the police station, JPD said on Thursday.
Around 3:02 p.m. on October 8, 2025, officers were dispatched to the Chateau Apartments in the 800 block of Caraway Road — located across from the Jonesboro Police Department — in reference to reports of gunfire.
