Kohnali Hunt was an 18-year-old Black man from Caruthersville, Missouri and a former student at the local high school. In the early hours of Sunday, April 21, 2024, police in Blytheville, Arkansas, responded to the 100 block of South Division Street about 1:30 a.m. and found Hunt with a gunshot wound. He was taken to Great River Medical emergency room and later transferred to Regional One Health in Memphis, Tennessee, where he died. A second person was also wounded.

Blytheville police arrested several suspects from Hayti, Missouri, including Omarion Grant, Rodney Hamilton-Jones, Tyleik Moore, Dion Grant, Keion Hamilton, Jaquavion Edwards and an unidentified juvenile. Five men—Omarion Grant, Jaquavion Edwards, Tyleik Moore, Rodney Jones, and Prince Black—were later charged with first-degree murder, but the prosecution reported significant witness issues during proceedings.
