Little Rock - A late night shooting outside a Little Rock nightclub has left one man dead.It happened just after midnight outside Joubert's on West 12th Street.Police say the incident started off as an argument, but quickly escalated in the parking lot. Little Rock detectives surveyed the parking lot outside Joubert's Sports Bar, just after midnight on Saturday. Police say it's where they found 30-year-old William Whisenhut of Memphis shot to death, after getting into an argument with two unknown men. Police are still looking for the suspects. (Lt. Terry Hastings, Little Rock Police Department) "Two suspects jumped in a vehicle and left the parking lot. We are trying to identify them, as well as the vehicle."It's unclear what started the argument, but police say they don't typically see violence at Joubert's.(Hastings) "We've had no problems at this club, it's very unusual. Very quiet, there are no incidents we know of particularly at this club. Last month, a man died in a shooting outside a different night club."Police are still searching for suspects in that case as well, but say they're confident both homicides will be solved. (Hastings) "The one at the Sandpiper that occurred, we do have some leads on it, and no doubt, our detectives will make an arrest in this one."If you have any information that might help police, you're asked to call Little Rock's detective unit at (501) 371-4660. Whisenhunt's death marks Little Rock's 39th homicide of the year.

It is a tragedy beyond words. My cousin's life was cut short because someone decided that they had a right to take it from him and his family. He was 30 years old and had so much life ahead of him. They robbed a family of a beloved son, brother, cousin, nephew and friend. He will be forever in our hearts and joining our grandmother, uncle, cousin, and aunt in heaven. Our society keeps letting thugs decide who lives and who dies.Little Rock - I hope you make an example of these murderers.

This is a very sad situation, no matter what happend. Nothing is worth taking a life and it's a shame people can't just go out and have fun.What bothers me is that people seem to point out the race of people, especially if they are the ones doing the killings. Black, white, blue green..it doesn't matter. There is a lot of murders these days and they are committed by ALL races. All crimes should be handled equally but there is not one of you who can honestly say that punishment is the same. Wrong is wrong and ALL crimes should carry the same punishment. If the media fail to point out that someone is black, it is certainly done so in the comments sections.

First of all, I wouldn't really call Jouberts a night club...more of a corner bar. Just a fun place to hang out, drink some beers and play pool...unless it has changed. Secondly, I am so tired of these PUNKS, that run around and start trouble. If they are so tough, why do they feel the need to use a gun...tough guys don't need guns, they can settle their disputes with the good ole fashion ass whoopins


We will miss you Billy!
