LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – A family seeks answers and justice after a sixth arrest was made in connection to the deadly shooting of 15-year-old Davin Chance Bizzell-Holmes.

People in the area also reported hearing multiple gunshots at that time.
"I received a phone call, the worst phone call that a mother can receive," LaTracy Bizzell said.
LaTracy Bizzell, Davin's mom, and LaTiffany Bizzell, Davin's aunt, were only four blocks from the incident and didn't even know it happened.

"I seen my son slumped over in the car and I tried to get to my baby, but I couldn't reach him," Bizzell said.
