Jerome LaTodd Haynie was 37 when he was fatally shot inside his Camden, Arkansas home on September 6, 2021. Deputies responded after his wife, Elizabeth Haynie, made a 911-type call saying her husband needed medical attention. Officers found Jerome on the floor with a large amount of blood and a handgun nearby. Three children were in the house and reported hearing a loud noise; they did not witness the shooting itself.

Elizabeth Haynie initially told investigators the gun discharged accidentally during an altercation with her husband and was taken into custody. Prosecutors later upgraded the charge from manslaughter to first-degree murder with a firearm enhancement, and the case proceeded to trial in May 2023. If anyone knew Jerome, the household, or the events that night, please share what you recall.
