Little Rock police have identified the victim in Friday's homicide as 31-year-old Carlo Marigliano.
According to the victim's family, Marigliano, was visiting Little Rock from Italy and spoke limited English and was traveling with an Italian tour group when he decided to break away and explore the city alone.
The victim’s family tells KATV they are flying in from Italy and the Italian Consulate is getting involved in the investigation.
Little Rock police are not releasing any suspect information.

Fifty years ago, when I lived there, downtown Little Rock was a fairly safe place at night. There were certain bad areas you stayed away from Like around the airport and College Station and North Little Rock was very dangerous. One of my friends was robbed there, by two WHITE guys!
I’ve been back once since 1970. Never had a desire to go there again.

***I hope he didn’t travel to the Mena Airport....***
Why not! People there ain’t no mena than they are anywhere else! (Old 120 year old joke from THREE YEARS IN ARKANSAW.
***Why would anyone from Italy wish to tour/visit Little Rock?***
Three Democratic shrines. Clinton trailer house museum, Woolworth counter from 1957, Central High School.
What was he holding over the Clintons?
Reminds me of the time when my family and me as a kid were driving to Florida and we stopped at a diner in Memphis or on the outskirts of. It was on a Sunday afternoon or early evening and everything but the diner was closed. After eating, my parents decided we should walk around main street and look in the shop windows. Dumb, I know. We soon realized we were being stalked by a gang of young ferals. Fast thinking got us out of it.
***one section of town on about three streets.***
By any chance College Station?
What can I say. It is reported that there are at least 70 vacancies at the PD. That may be a factor also. And year we seen to be on track for about 75 murders this year. But let me say that most of those murders are gang related and in a certain geographical location. Absent that the murder rate would be much lower.
Yes I am sure there are some there.
Oh if I had a nickle for every time I have heard that story. It never ends well.
I think it has to do with the kind of person who wants to see the "real city" and, of course, they always head to the red light district.
I think they’re intentionally leaving the Clintons out of this - though there is a “Bubba” - don’t know if it’s supposed to be Bill. Hope to see this one (that is rare, rare for me).

number 57 is really pretty Hummus.
Lived in Little rock in the early 70’s. The rough part of town back then was east of the downtown freeway. no red markers there on that current map.
My point was... in 50 years nothing will have changed. Just the name of the street.
Nah...jigs.
I was gonna say. Hope some “people”are on their way as we speak.
I grew up there. Tell me about it.
Australians, Italians whatever. They are all white and we don’t discriminate.
