Marvin Gabriel Jenkins Jr. was a 21-year-old barber and father of two in Little Rock, Arkansas. Friends and family described him as sweet, kind, caring and a good listener. His life ended violently on the afternoon of Friday, October 13, 2023.

Marvin Jr. and his father, 47-year-old Marvin Jenkins Sr., were found inside a vehicle near the intersection of Mabelvale Drive and Mabelvale Circle after police were called at 4:51 p.m. Both had sustained multiple gunshot wounds and died at the scene despite efforts by Metropolitan Emergency Medical Services. Little Rock Police Department homicide detectives and the Crime Scene Search Unit canvassed the area for witnesses and video and the bodies were taken to the Arkansas State Crime Laboratory for autopsy. About two weeks later, on October 26, 2023, a 20-year-old Little Rock resident, Daylon Bland, was arrested and charged with two counts of capital murder in connection with the shootings.

Did anyone in the area see or have footage from Mabelvale Drive or Mabelvale Circle on October 13 that could help clarify what happened?
