CARLISLE, Ark. — The Arkansas State Police (ASP) has identified the suspect involved in the officer-involved shooting that occurred on Wednesday, June 11, 2025, as Felipe Millan-Gomez, 33, of Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Millan-Gomez was wanted in connection with an armed carjacking and kidnapping that took place on Monday, June 9, 2025, in Manistee County, Michigan. During that incident, Millan-Gomez allegedly threatened a woman with a handgun, forced her to drive, and later took control of her vehicle. Law enforcement considered Millan-Gomez armed and dangerous.
ASP Troopers and officers with the U.S. Marshals Service stopped Millan-Gomez on Interstate 40 East, near the 180-mile marker about a mile west of Carlisle, at about 1:30 p.m. Millan-Gomez exited his vehicle and brandished a weapon. Troopers fired on the suspect, striking him. Millan-Gomez died at the scene.
The deceased will be transported to the Arkansas State Crime Laboratory.
ASP’s Criminal Investigation Division (CID) is investigating the shooting. Upon completion of the investigation, CID Agents will submit a case file to the Lonoke County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, which will determine if the use of lethal force was consistent with Arkansas law.
