On November 28, 2022, three people were shot to death in a home in the Crow Creek community just outside Forrest City, Arkansas. The victims found inside the house in the 500 block of Gore were 31-year-old Jaterrance Wright, 34-year-old Shalanda Nicole Barton, and Barton’s 12-year-old daughter, Kelsie Marie Thompson. It appeared the victims were attacked while they were in their beds. A grandmother’s welfare check prompted deputies from the St. Francis County Sheriff’s Office to enter the residence and make the discovery.

The triple homicide devastated the community and prompted the Forrest City School District to make counselors available for students and staff. Investigators worked the case for months, and on February 7, 2023, authorities arrested 17-year-old Jonathan Rolfe, identified as Barton’s son and Thompson’s brother. Rolfe was taken into custody and charged as an adult with three counts of capital murder and one count of theft of property; investigators say they found Barton's stolen Cadillac near his girlfriend’s home and a key fob in his possession.

Does anyone have information about the victims’ lives or the Crow Creek neighborhood that could help fill in details about that night?
