On June 14, 2022, at about 6:05 p.m., officers from the North Little Rock Police Department responded to a shooting in the 3800 block of Hillside Drive. They found 30-year-old Keith Anthony Waller of El Dorado, Arkansas, suffering from gunshot wounds; he died shortly after the incident. Investigators identified 20-year-old Ramondo Montray Edwards of North Little Rock as a suspect; Edwards was charged with first-degree murder and was captured on June 15, 2022, near an apartment complex in Conway, Arkansas, by the U.S. Marshals Service Fugitive Task Force with local police and North Little Rock detectives. Edwards later pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 25 years in prison for Waller’s death.

He lived in El Dorado, was active at Greater Paradise Missionary Baptist Church as an usher and youth deacon, completed El Dorado public schools in 2009, attended Rester Barber School in 2016, and worked as a barber, in construction, and at a bar and grill.
