The suspect who was killed after pulling a gun on law enforcement Friday has been identified as 40-year-old Matt Abram.

Abram was pronounced deceased by Jefferson County Coroner Chad Kelly at 9:15 p.m. Friday night.

A press release from the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office said that a Jefferson County deputy was involved in a shooting with a fleeing suspect at 6:45 p.m. in the area of Martha Mitchell Expressway and Michigan Street in Pine Bluff.

40-year-old Matt Abram was shot and killed after pulling a gun on law enforcement Friday night.

The deputy spotted a suspect, who was wanted for multiple charges, at a hotel located on Commerce Road. As the deputy approached the suspect, the suspect got into the passenger seat of a vehicle, in which the driver drove off, causing a pursuit on Martha Mitchell Expressway. The driver came to a railroad crossing, where the vehicle became stuck. The passenger exited the vehicle and attempted to flee, but was soon apprehended by a special agent.

Abram exited the vehicle and began to run. A deputy began to chase the driver. The deputy stated that as he chased the suspect, the suspect stopped and pointed a gun at him. The deputy drew his gun and fired several shots at him.

Abram then continued running northwest toward Port Road, where the Arkansas Department of Corrections was called, and released tracking dogs. ADC personnel located Abram approximately 100 yards away from the scene, when he pulled the gun again. ADC officers asked Abram to put the gun down, and he refused, which led to the officers opening fire.

A small caliber gun was retrieved from an area near the Abram’s body. All evidence will be evaluated by the Arkansas State Police as an officer involved shooting.
