Howdy,
Here's a link to a local news story:

I know Hayes, Green and Lewis that were involved in the incident. ( My brother owns a painting business and uses Hayes and Green to paint rental property in the 'Hood areas of Little Rock and that's how I know them.)
Harcourt and Williams were trying to rob Hayes. Hayes and Harcourt fought on Hayes's front porch and Hayes finally drew his pistol, a .380, and tried to shoot Harcourt but instead shoot his left index finger off.
At this point Green joined the fight and shot Harcourt at point blank range with a different .380.
When the shooting started, Williams ran for his SUV and fired his 9mm emptying the mag as he ran for his vehicle. One round was believe to have struck Harcourt. So, just because they're fleeing doesn't mean they're not a threat
A woman that was never mentioned lured Hayes outside his house and there was a third man that was driving the getaway SUV.
In the words of Forest Gump's mom: "Stupid is as stupid does." holds true.
In 2008 Green and a "friend" where cruising around looking for stuff to steal and found a Chevy Malibu with the passenger's side window rolled down a few inches with a laptop, case, cell phone and a few other things in the front seat. Green reached through the window, unlocked the door, grabbed everything, stuffed it into a pillow case, emptied the glove box and hopped back into the Explorer that he was riding in.
They drove about 50yds and Little Rock PD swarmed their SUV. The driver decided to ram a cop car and flee. The LRPD lit them up killing the driver and Green suffered several GSWs and carried his guts around in a bag for about 18 months.
Harcourt and Williams pled guilty to conspiracy, possession of a firearm during a drug transaction and felon in possession of firearms.
For some unknown reason Saline County decided that Hayes and Green were "innocent victims" and refused to charge them with anything. The Feds felt differently and charged them conspiracy, possession of a firearm during a drug transaction and felon in possession of firearm. These have a sentence of 20 to 40 to life for the first two and 5 years for the third.
Hayes and Green elect for a jury trial and were found guilty on all charges and are sitting in Pulaski Co. jail awaiting sentencing.
A bunch of Hayes's friends believe that the Feds are going to release him because "he's a really great guy" but I told them that in the lyrics of a song by Steam:
Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey, goodbye
Paul
