LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — According to Little Rock police reports, on Monday, Oct. 19, at 11:33 a.m., officers responded to an "unknown trouble" call at Canopy Apartments on Kanis Road.

Officers made contact with the maintenance staff and said they were there to check on the people who lived in the apartment because they needed to fix a gas leak that occurred in nearby apartments.
