Antonio Simuel, 36, was fatally shot on the evening of June 8, 2025, in Little Rock, Arkansas. Police responded shortly after 9:00 p.m. to the intersection of West Markham and University and found Simuel with a gunshot wound; he was taken to a local hospital and later died. Investigators said the shooting occurred at a residence on Sandhurst Circle and described the incident as domestic in nature, though they did not detail the relationship between Simuel and the suspect.

Authorities identified 27-year-old Akila Dewitt as a suspect the next day; Dewitt was taken into custody and charged with capital murder and held at the Pulaski County Regional Jail. Simuel, known to friends and family as Gte RealLyfe, was born in Arlington, Virginia, and remembered as a musically gifted man who played several instruments, had an infectious smile, and served as a father figure to many. His death was reported as the 28th homicide in Little Rock for the year.
