Jadon Shackelford was 21 when he was shot after arriving at Merriweather Park in Little Rock on the evening of Saturday, January 8, 2022. Neighbors reported hearing gunfire at the park; a friend who had driven Jadon there transported him to a nearby hospital, where he died of his injuries on January 9, 2022. His death was ruled a homicide.

Jadon’s family described him as a son, brother, and a devoted father to his 22-month-old son, remembered for an infectious smile, curly hair, and a caring nature. The investigation led to arrests over the following months: Jordan Parkinson was arrested and charged with capital murder in March 2022; in December 2022, 18-year-old Evan Franklin and 17-year-old Grant Nichol were arrested and charged with first-degree murder and committing a terroristic act.

Does anyone have information about what happened at Merriweather Park that night or knew Jadon and can help fill in details?
