On May 26, 2024, deputies in Washington County, Arkansas, found 48-year-old Weston Wade Miller inside a car on Oakland Zion Road, just outside Fayetteville, with an apparent gunshot wound to the head. Miller was a resident of Springdale.

A woman who called 911 reported that her friend, 69-year-old Hugh Kane of Fayetteville, had shot Miller and said Kane told her Miller had threatened him and ‘‘came at him’’ before the shooting. Officers detained Kane at the scene; he was later taken to a local hospital after reporting chest pains. In an interview, Kane admitted to shooting Miller and said he felt threatened by an imminent physical attack. Investigators also learned Kane has a prior felony conviction that barred him from possessing a firearm.

Kane was arrested and booked on May 27, 2024, charged with capital murder and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, held on $750,000 bond, and has pleaded not guilty. Miller’s body was sent to the Arkansas State Crime Lab for cause of death determination. Did anyone in the Fayetteville or Springdale area see Miller or Kane that evening or have information about what led to the confrontation?
