In the early hours of March 31, 2024, Xavier Green, a 20-year-old White man from Searcy, Arkansas, was fatally shot on a rural road just outside Judsonia. The shooting occurred around 3 a.m. near a salvage yard, where deputies found Green deceased in the roadway after a dispute.

Witnesses described an argument between Green and 32-year-old Brandon Stith. According to those accounts, Stith first fired a pistol into the air, then went into his residence, returned with a rifle, and fired at Green. Investigators executed a search warrant at Stith’s home and seized a pistol, a rifle, and spent shell casings.

Stith was arrested and charged with capital murder, aggravated assault, and tampering with physical evidence; he is being held at the White County Jail without bond as proceedings continue. Does anyone have information about what led to the dispute or witnessed the events that night?
