Couple shot and robbed in home invasion

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KATV) -- A Little Rock couple is being treated for gunshot wounds after they say their apartment was burglarized early Wednesday morning.

The incident, according to Little Rock Police, happened around 5 a.m. at the Pleasant Pointe Apartments. The victims, Alexis Adams and Lincoln Brison tell police Adams was cleaning the apartment, when a masked man wearing all black broke down the couple's door. According to police, the victims say the man struck Adams on her head with a handgun. Brison then wrestled the intruder, and during the altercation, the gun fired off, striking both Brison and Adams in the right forearm. Police say the suspect then took a Play Station 4 and four video games before fleeing the apartment.

The couple were treated at St. Vincent Infirmary with non life-threatening injuries, and have since then been released.

Detectives working the case are looking into just who that intruder was. Officer Steve Moore with LRPD says because the victims were home at the time of the crime, police are calling it not just a burglary, but an intrusion.

"Coming in armed, and he kicked the door in, yes, if you go into a house at 5 in the morning, then you pretty much know somebody was going to be there," Moore said.

Police are working to obtain any sort of surveillance video that may have recorded the incident. Detectives hope to see if the intruder was driving a specific car, and what the intruder may have looked like.

This person, according to Officer Moore, would face two charges of aggravated robbery and two counts of battery.

LRPD says they respond to the area of Pleasant Pointe Apartments frequently. They've responded to ten violent crimes there this year, and since the beginning of April, police have answered 50 disturbance calls.
