Little Rock police say that they`ve arrested
21-year-old Eilert Bertrand for the shooting death of 26-year-old
Antonio Alford. Police said they arrested Bertrand yesterday and
said the two men lived in the same Little Rock apartment complex.
Police were holding Bertrand last night at the Pulaski County
jail. No bond amount had been set.
Alford was found shot in the head, sitting in the front seat of
a car in the apartment complex on Saturday night. He was dead at
the scene.
Alford was acquitted in July 2001 of the 1999 murder of Cannah
Henderson, whose body was found burning on a road in rural Pulaski
County.
Police said they don`t know if Alford`s death is related to the
earlier slaying.
Alford`s ex-wife said the man was a good father to his five
children but struggled with an addiction to marijuana laced with
the drug PCP.
She said the couple divorced a few months.
