Graddy identified the man as 40-year-old David Aaron King of Pine Bluff. King was identified as an absconder from the Arkansas Board of Parole and located at a residence on North Spring Street.

When police arrived at the residence to arrest King, he allegedly brandished a weapon and was shot by a Harrison officer. King was transported to North Arkansas Regional Medical Center, where he later died.

King was wanted for charges of kidnapping, theft of property and failure to register as a sex offender.

The shooting is under investigation by the Arkansas State Police.
