On August 11, 2021, the body of 23-year-old Ru-Jauree Harris, a Black man from Springdale, was found inside his white pickup on the 2100 block of South K Street in Rogers, Arkansas. He had suffered a single gunshot wound to the head. Investigators concluded the truck had been driven to that location and abandoned after Harris was killed elsewhere.

By the end of August 2021, three men had been arrested in connection with the case: 21-year-old Jesse Stanford of Rogers, 24-year-old Stetson Shelton of Springdale, and 24-year-old Damon George of Rogers. Charges varied by defendant. Stanford was booked on capital murder, aggravated robbery, and tampering with physical evidence. Shelton faced aggravated robbery, hindering apprehension or prosecution, possession of firearms by certain persons, and tampering with physical evidence. George was charged with hindering apprehension or prosecution and tampering with physical evidence. All three pleaded not guilty in November 2021.

Does anyone have information about Ru-Jauree Harris, his activities in the area that summer, or the events leading up to August 11, 2021?
