Arkansas authorities are asking the public to contact them if they can identify the suspects involved in a shooting at a car show that killed one person and left 27 wounded.

At a Monday press conference, Arkansas State Police did not announce any arrests for the Saturday night shooting in Dumas.

The car show is part of a community event held each spring.

State police said they were reserving a phone line for calls from witnesses and victims who have not reported their injuries. Police have said the shooting was the result of a gunfight between two people.

The list of wounded victims included the name of Cameron Shaffer, 23, of Jacksonville, who later died at the Dumas hospital, according to a release from the state police.
During a Sunday news conference, the number of wounded was reported to be 28. State police say the discrepancy appears to be attributed to one patient admitted locally and later transferred to another hospital.
Among the wounded are five children ranging in age from 19-months to 11 years old.
Additionally, the Arkansas State Police Criminal Investigation Division is reserving a telephone number for witnesses to the shooting and victims who may not have reported their injuries to contact agents assigned to the case.
Anyone who may have information related to the incident who can help agents investigating the case identify a suspect or suspects or provide information about the events leading up to the shooting are asked to call this telephone number:
ARKANSAS STATE POLICE CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION DIVISION
(501) 618-8850
The state police say should an incoming call go to voicemail, please leave a message with the name of the caller and telephone number where they can be contacted at any time.
