LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) -- A crowd of 100-200 people gathered at the scene of a suspect being shot and killed by a Little Rock police officer Monday morning. The shooting happened before noon at 12th Street and Jefferson Street, according to Little Rock police.

Sgt. Cassandra Davis said officers were trying to stop a stolen SUV when the suspect got out of the vehicle and ran. A short foot pursuit took place until officers and the suspect made contact in the backyard of 1110 Adams St., according to Davis. She said there was some sort of altercation, leading police to think the suspect had a weapon. Chief Stuart Thomas said one officer fired two or three rounds, killing the suspect. There were rumors from the scene that the person killed was a black teenager, however Thomas said the man killed was in his 20s or 30s.

Davis said a weapon, which did not belong to officers, was recovered at the scene. The officer was not injured and is placed on administrative leave during the investigation.

Shortly after the shooting happened, a crowd gathered and was said to be yelling phrases such as "Trayvon Martin," "He was running away," and spitting on people. Some people at the scene were calling for justice forBobby Moore, who was shot and killed in 2012 by a Little Rock police officer.

THV's Dustin Wilson, who spent the afternoon at the scene, said the group grew to at least 100 people, some of which were yelling at the officers. Some called the officers 'cowards' while others are asked why they didn't use a taser on the man.

The area along 12th Street remained congested until about 4 p.m. when police left the scene, the crowd started dispersing, and the road was open again.
