LITTLE ROCK, AR - Police say a man was shot and killed during a robbery attempt in the parking lot of a club Saturday morning.

Two men attempted to rob brothers William and Richard Ratley as they walked to their car in the parking lot of Club Trinity/Discovery Club around 2:30am Saturday, according to police.

Richard was shot by one of the suspects, police say, and died at the scene.

No arrests have been made but police are looking for a 2007 Chyrsler PT Cruiser that may have handicapped plates.

Sad story to read. My heart and thoughts go out to the victim's family and please let this be the catalyst that gets the LRPD actually working to protect people. Back in the day when Disco was under better management (and there was a less violent class of clientele) there was a huge police presence passing through. These days I hear the club has let itself change all that since they thought the cop presence would slow business down - and this is what comes of not having a cruiser pass through every hour.

Reading this article makes it so much harder. You were such an amazing man Richard/Keye (as we all knew him). I can't believe you're gone.

ladyofthehill Why would it be justified for a rober to shoot someone coming out of a club? From what i read Richard was one of the brothers coming out of the club. Eather you"re on the robers side or you missread the story. This just shows that crime is still going on. Two brothers just minding their own buisness and some j.a. thaught it would be cool to try and take something from someone els.... Richard was the victom.
