Jason Watson, a 37-year-old Black man, was shot in the early morning hours of Friday, August 27, 2021, on the 4400 block of West 28th Street in Little Rock. A ShotSpotter alert brought officers to the neighborhood around 2 a.m.; they found Watson gravely wounded and transported him to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. His body was taken to the Arkansas State Crime Lab for autopsy.

Police secured the scene with evidence tape and canvassed the area in the hours after the shooting but did not immediately release a motive or suspect description. Community memorial pages describe the killing as stemming from gun violence and underscore unanswered questions about what led up to the shots on West 28th Street.

Does anyone have information about Jason, the night of August 27, 2021, or about the events on West 28th Street that could help fill in what happened?
