['Ashley Crockett', 'Https']

Date: 2023-10

Phillips County deputies are in search of an Elaine man who authorities believe committed a November homicide and may be currently hiding in the Little Rock area.

According to Major Brian Holloway of the office, 20-year-old Martavies Demond Cooper is wanted for the murder of Patro Porter which occurred on Nov. 25.

On that day at 8 p.m., officers responded to Nelson street from reports of a male who had been shot multiple times.

Porter was transported to the Helena Regional Medical Center, then flown to a trauma center in Memphis, TN where he later died on Nov. 26.

On Dec. 1, KATV received a tip from a relative of the victim that Cooper may be in the Little Rock area with his family, which was later confirmed by Phillips County officials on Wednesday afternoon.



Holloway is asking for the help of the community, in addition to Little Rock and central Arkansas law enforcement to find the whereabouts of Cooper.

Cooper is described as a black male standing 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighing 130 pounds with brown eyes and black hair.

Officials said Cooper is considered to be armed and dangerous.

Anyone with information involving this murder or who knows where Cooper may be located is urged to contact the Phillips County Sheriff's Office at 870-338-5555 or your local agency.
