Police found a man dead in the lobby of the La Quinta Inn in Springdale Tuesday morning, according to officers at the scene.
Springdale police said calls came in at around 7:19 a.m. reporting shots had been fired at the hotel. When they arrived, they found a man dead in the lobby, but the person suspected of firing shots had fled, officers said.
Springdale officers identified the man killed as 28-year-old Umedjon Rustamjon Mavlonkulov, the night manager of the hotel.
Police said they believe the suspect left the shooting scene in a dark blue vehicle, possibly a Nissan hatchback. Police said they are working to review surveillance video from cameras in the area.
Officers said they will release more about the shooting in a press release later Tuesday; WCPO will update this story as more information from the investigation becomes available.
