Vintrael Allen McKinzie, 36, was found inside a home at 206 Jocelyn Street in Gould, Arkansas, on October 15, 2021, after authorities responded to a report from the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office. McKinzie had suffered fatal gunshot wounds; investigators believe the shooting occurred late that afternoon or early evening. The Arkansas State Police Criminal Investigation Division opened a homicide investigation, and a suspect was questioned the night of October 15 but was not arrested then. The Lincoln County prosecuting attorney was asked to review the file for a possible arrest warrant.

The investigation continued for months; on May 26, 2022, 33-year-old Natoya C. Green was arrested and charged with first-degree murder in connection with McKinzie’s death. Family members had earlier expressed frustration about the pace of the probe and were seeking answers.

Is anyone in Gould familiar with McKinzie or the circumstances around that October evening?
