An argument outside an apartment complex at 504 Pine Street in Holly Grove, Arkansas, on December 10, 2021, turned deadly when gunfire broke out. Two men were wounded; 23‑year‑old Tyquan Parks was taken to a hospital in Stuttgart and died later that day. A second victim, 24‑year‑old Michael Perry, was hospitalized in Little Rock.

The Holly Grove police called in the Arkansas State Police shortly before 5 p.m. to help with crowd control; Special Agents from the Criminal Investigation Division then took over the homicide investigation, processing evidence and interviewing witnesses. Investigators identified two suspects from nearby Clarendon. Arrest warrants for first‑degree murder and first‑degree battery were issued for 19‑year‑old Rydarius Craig and Christopher Howton. Howton was arrested that night and held at the Monroe County Detention Center; Craig remained at large in the immediate aftermath.

The state police investigation into Tyquan Parks’ death is ongoing. If anyone has information about the shooting or the whereabouts of Rydarius Craig, please share what is known with investigators.
