WILLISVILLE, Arkansas — An exchange of gunfire rang out between police and an armed shooter Tuesday evening, July 22, 2025. The suspect, 35-year-old Daniel Wallace, was taken into custody after leading Arkansas State Police on a high-speed pursuit and the gun battle.
At 4:55 p.m., the Nevada County Sheriff’s Office (NCSO) responded to a 911 call reporting a shooting at a home on Arkansas Highway 200 in the Morris community in southern Nevada County. Responding deputies found a 47-year-old Rosston man with life-threatening injuries. The victim was airlifted to a hospital in Louisiana.
NCSO requested assistance from ASP’s Criminal Investigation and Highway Patrol divisions and issued a BOLO for Wallace, of Rosston, who was driving a 2012 white Chevy Tahoe.
Troopers enroute to the shooting spotted the suspect’s vehicle at a Waldo convenience store at about 6 p.m., prompting a high-speed pursuit of the suspect on U.S. 371 North. During the pursuit, Wallace fired at troopers. After a state trooper stopped Wallace’s vehicle with a tactical vehicle intervention, both the suspect and troopers exchanged gunfire.
Wallace disabled two ASP Highway Patrol vehicles in the shootout before an ASP special agent arrived on the scene. Wallace’s vehicle remained operational.
A trooper in the original pursuit joined the special agent in his vehicle, and the pursuit continued on U.S. 371 North. After entering the Willisville community, troopers returned fire, striking Wallace and causing his vehicle to leave the roadway and collide with a tree.
Troopers took Wallace into custody at 6:29 p.m. after a standoff that lasted a few minutes. Wallace was airlifted to UAMS in Little Rock.
No officers were injured in the incident.
