A West Memphis family’s Independence Day celebration ended in tragedy when 26-year-old Martavis Thomas was shot in the back of the head at a home on the evening of July 3, 2024. He was taken to Baptist Memorial Hospital – Crittenden and died there on July 4, 2024. His father publicly mourned the loss during what should have been a holiday.

The West Memphis Police Department identified two suspects and obtained arrest warrants for 19-year-old Jabrone Hamilton and 22-year-old Alex Jackson. Both men were later arrested and are being held at the Crittenden County Detention Center in Marion, facing charges in connection with Thomas’s death.

Are there any witnesses or neighbors who saw activity around that home on the evening of July 3 who can help investigators?
