Aidyn Montreal Davis was a 16-year-old sophomore at Hot Springs World Class High School when he was shot on the evening of October 5, 2022. Officers were dispatched to the 600 block of School Street at 6:17 p.m. and found him wounded; he was taken to a local hospital and died from his injuries. The community response—vigils at the school, online memorials, and an obituary from a Hot Springs funeral home—described him as a hardworking, goofy teenager who was well known to classmates and staff.

Investigators moved quickly. By October 7 warrants had been obtained for two young men, Camron Young and Markus Conrad, on charges including murder in the first degree, aggravated robbery, two counts of committing a terroristic act, and battery in the first degree; Conrad was described as a juvenile to be charged as an adult. On November 8 a 16-year-old surrendered and was charged as an adult with the same cluster of offenses in connection with the October 5 homicide.

If anyone knew Aidyn or was in the School Street area that evening, please share what was seen or heard.
