Tumontay Parks, a 23-year-old Black man, was shot while at a gathering in the 1400 block of Belle Avenue in Fort Smith, Arkansas, on the evening of May 17, 2025. Witnesses reported shots came from a dark-colored truck that then fled the scene. Parks was privately transported to a local hospital and arrived around 10 p.m. with life-threatening injuries; he later died of those wounds.

The Fort Smith Police Department opened a homicide investigation after being notified of Parks’s arrival at the hospital. As of initial reports, no arrests had been announced and investigators were asking the public for help identifying the suspect or suspects connected to the truck and the shooting.

If anyone was at the gathering or saw a dark-colored truck in the area that evening, does that person have information that could help investigators?
