LITTLE ROCK (KATV) — Two people known as "Spanks" and "Lil' Bam" were named as possible suspects in a shooting that injured a man Wednesday in Little Rock, police reported.

Officers were called about 6 p.m. to the 4300 block of Asher Avenue, where they found a 25-year-old man inside a vehicle who had been shot in his upper back, according to a police report. The man told police he was leaving a store nearby when the shooting happened. He told police that "Spanks" and "Lil' Bam" were the shooters. But he later said they were not the shooters. He told officers that whoever shot him fled in a black Honda Accord.
