On the night of February 5, 2023, 19-year-old Tamarionna Jarrett of Augusta, Arkansas, was killed when gunfire erupted during a crowded concert at the former Branch High School building on Clay Street in Newport. The event, promoted as a birthday bash featuring rap artist Fredo Bang, was taking place around 2:30 a.m. when shots were fired; several other concertgoers were also wounded.

The Newport Police Department and the Arkansas State Police Criminal Investigation Division led a multi-year probe that identified multiple people connected to the shooting. Two men, Richard McGee and Aaron Warren, were arrested shortly after the incident; the investigation later produced additional arrests and pleas by people tied to the violence.

The case resulted in guilty pleas from those charged in the shooting and related conduct; several received lengthy prison sentences while others received felony probation. Does anyone who attended that event or who has information about the night of February 5, 2023, have details that could add to the record?
