Case Study: Little Rock Police Department secures murder conviction with SoundThinking ShotSpotter

Little Rock Police Department secures life sentence plus 55 years with SoundThinking

The Little Rock Police Department faced the challenge of prosecuting a murder case with no eyewitnesses and only circumstantial and digital evidence. They utilized ShotSpotter, a gunshot detection service from vendor SoundThinking, to help build their case against the suspect.

SoundThinking's solution provided precise forensic reporting and expert witness testimony that corroborated digital evidence from the suspect's phone with the physical evidence at the crime scene. This resulted in a successful prosecution, with the defendant found guilty on all counts and sentenced to life in prison without parole plus 55 years. The vendor's work was described as absolutely critical for establishing a precise timeline for the jury.
