El Paso Police officials just identified the person who died in the motorcycle crash in northeast El Paso Sunday morning as Edward Herrera, 55.
Special Traffic Investigators say Herrera was traveling west on Fred Wilson “at a high rate of speed,” when his motorcycle hit a curb and then a road sign. He flew off the motorcycle and died from his injuries, police officials say.
Fayetteville police say there is no evidence of an active shooter following multiple emergency calls that caused widespread alarm across the University of Arkansas campus and surrounding community on Monday afternoon.
Officials confirmed that despite extensive searches and coordinated responses by several law enforcement agencies, no gunfire has been reported, no injuries have occurred, and no arrests have been made.
The individual identified in connection with the reports is Clifford Phillips of Reynoldsburg, Ohio, though authorities stressed that the investigation is ongoing and no direct threat has been confirmed.
The initial call came in at approximately 12:30 p.m., when both the University of Arkansas Police Department (UAPD) and Fayetteville Police Department (FPD) received reports of an active shooter at David W. Mullins Library.
The large-scale emergency response included campus police, city police, and support from additional agencies. Buildings were quickly locked down as officers began clearing rooms and hallways.
At a news conference held later in the afternoon, officials explained that while they took every report seriously, they had yet to uncover any credible evidence of shots fired.
“As of now, there are no confirmed gunshots, no confirmed injuries, no known suspects in custody, and no arrests have been made,” read an official statement from Fayetteville Police posted to Facebook.
The situation created a ripple effect of precautionary lockdowns across the city. The Neighborhood Walmart on MLK Boulevard went into lockdown as police worked to secure the area.
