Victims in deadly Springdale shooting identified by police

Police say the shooting happened near 4401 S Thompson St. on April 24.

SPRINGDALE, Ark. — The Springdale Police Department (SPD) is investigating a shooting near the area of 4401 South Thompson St. that left two people dead and two injured. 

A release from SPD said that at around 10:50 p.m. on April 24, officers were dispatched to the area for a gunshot call. 

Once on the scene, officers said they found four people with gunshot wounds. 

One man was pronounced dead at the scene "with an apparent self-inflicted wound." SPD later identified him as 20-year-old Elgin Guidry.

"Mr. Guidry got into a disturbance with subjects in the car and fired a firearm into a vehicle striking all three subjects and then turned the firearm onto himself," Sgt. Matt Ray with SPD told 5NEWS.

Two other people were transported to nearby hospitals with life-threatening injuries. One of them was identified as 19-year-old Lyric Bewley, who died from her injuries. The other is another 19-year-old woman whose condition is still unknown. 

"We believe there's a relationship between Mr. Guidry and Ms. Bewley. I don't know what that relationship is at this time. And that's still being investigated," Ray said.

Police said a fourth person suffered minor injuries but was reportedly treated and released from the hospital.

SPD said this is an isolated incident and that there's no threat to the public. It's currently an ongoing investigation.

"If anybody has further information, please contact the Springdale Police Department," Ray added. He says that the situation is being investigated as a homicide-suicide.
