Shina Holmes, 39, was shot and killed on the afternoon of July 30, 2024, in the parking lot of the Eagle Hill apartments in Little Rock, Arkansas. Her 19-year-old daughter, Jakiahia, was in the car with her when Shina’s husband, identified as 42-year-old Earnest Holmes, approached and fired a gun through the car window. Police received a call about the shooting at 1:59 p.m. and found Shina with apparent gunshot wounds; she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Jakiahia later said she felt like her mother died in her hands, and family members had described Shina as trying to leave years of abuse and starting a new life when she was killed. Detectives quickly identified Earnest Holmes as the suspect; he was located soon after, taken into custody without incident, and charged with capital murder, two counts of committing a terroristic act, and unlawful possession of a firearm by a certain person.
