JONESBORO — A 28-year-old Jonesboro man was shot through the arm Saturday afternoon with the bullet also striking his chest during an incident in the 1600 block of Dupwe Drive, according to a Jonesboro police report.
The man said his 21-year-old brother is the person who fired the shot.
According to the report, Dequan Smith, of the 1600 block of Dupwe Drive, told officers he didn’t want to press charges “because that was his blood.”
According to a witness, she said the brothers worked together at the Five Guys restaurant where they had an argument and when they got home the argument continued. She said she heard a commotion and went to look and that is when the suspect pulled a gun and shot his brother.
Police arrived and applied a tourniquet and applied a chest seal to each wound. The victim was transported to St. Bernards Medical Center for treatment.
Detective Chad Hogard wrote in the report that he prepared an affidavit for a bench warrant for the suspect’s arrest, which was signed by District Judge Tommy Fowler.
The suspect is being sought on suspicion of first-degree battery and aggravated assault on a family or household member.
