Karen Shields Payne, 67, was found dead from an apparent gunshot wound in her North Little Rock home on April 23, 2023. Deputies from the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office responded to a pre-dawn shooting call at the Szymanski Road residence and discovered her body.

Waiting at the scene was Karen’s husband, 67-year-old Donald Payne, who surrendered to authorities. He was taken into custody and charged with first-degree murder in connection with her death and held without bond at the Pulaski County Regional Detention Facility.

Karen had been married to Donald for 22 years and was reported to have been battling cancer. Who has information about Karen, her last movements, or the neighborhood that morning?
