Investigators have leads in death of business owner

Posted: November 1, 2012 - 10:50pm

Investigators say they have developed leads in the case of the shooting death of a local business owner on Monday evening.

Capt. Matt Rice with the Faulkner County Sheriff’s Office on Thursday afternoon said investigators are ready to call the shooting of Larry W. Billings a homicide and now have suspects and motives in their sights.

Billings, 60, was the longtime owner of Conway Roller Rink. He was found dead in his home by a teenage son around 7 p.m. Monday.

Autopsy results on Wednesday indicated Billings died as the result of a single gunshot wound to the head.

A blue, 2007 Nissan Titan belonging to Billings and the weapon used to commit the crime are still missing.

Investigators have been mum on the details of the type or caliber of firearm used to commit the crime.

On Thursday, Rice declined to give details on the possible suspects or motives, but said interviews are ongoing.

“We’ve been talking to a lot of people and we are going to continue to talk to a lot of people,” Rice said.

Anyone with information on the Nissan Titan, license plate number 631 MEM, is asked to contact the Faulkner County Sheriff’s Office at 501-450-4914.

Respect

I have so much right now for the FCSO for everything they have done and are still doing. These guys have been ferocious in their search for answers and we are so comforted in knowing they won't let this go unresolved. And to the community for the support they have shown our family. We sincerely love the people of Conway for every kind word, every hug, and every memory shared. Thank you all for assuring us that this will not be forgotten.
