On the evening of March 24, 2023, Chanell Moore, a 26-year-old mother of four, was shot and killed at point-blank range while working a shift at Doug’s Eastside Convenience in Fort Smith, Arkansas. A masked person entered the store, spoke briefly with Moore and then fatally shot her multiple times during a robbery. The attacker went behind the counter and fled with cigarettes and vape products, leaving a devastated family and community.

Investigators developed leads from public tips. One tip reported a suspicious black Mercedes SUV with its license plate removed; another linked the Fort Smith killing to a December 2022 robbery in nearby Barling after a Facebook message. Surveillance from the Barling incident showed a young male suspect wearing clothing matching the Fort Smith assailant, and a gun recovered in that case was traced to the Mercedes owner’s family. A 15-year-old was later taken into custody at a home on Mayo Drive and charged as an adult in connection with the Fort Smith homicide, aggravated robbery and related offenses.

Moore’s father is now caring for her four children. Are there any readers who knew Chanell, her family, or who can share information about the events leading up to that night?
