Jaelin Scott, 30, was shot and killed in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, in the early morning hours of July 12, 2024. Police were first called to 23rd Avenue and Hazel Street shortly before 2:00 AM after reports of gunfire; a subsequent report led officers to the intersection of 23rd Avenue and Spruce Street where Scott was found unresponsive with an apparent gunshot wound and later pronounced dead by the Jefferson County Coroner.

Scott was a father of two and worked most recently at Tyson Foods. He graduated from the Dollarway School District, where he was an honor student, served as drum major in the band, and played football and basketball. A witness said Scott had been involved in an argument with a man identified as Devantre Daniels that escalated and resulted in Scott being shot. Daniels reportedly fled in a vehicle but was later located at a residence, taken into custody without incident, interviewed at the detective’s office, and booked into Jefferson County jail on a charge of first-degree murder.
