On the late afternoon of August 5, 2021, Daniel William Smith, 31, of Forrest City was found dead beside a sport utility vehicle on West Mulberry Street in Wynne. Officers discovered he had died from injuries sustained in a gunfight. A second man from the same vehicle, 32-year-old Douglas Miller of Forrest City, was found injured inside and taken to a local hospital; he was later released.

Investigators say Smith, Miller and 29-year-old Christopher Scott of Wynne had driven to 529 West Mulberry Street and reportedly fired at 29-year-old Denzel Mason of Wynne. Mason was not injured there and pursued the vehicle a short distance to 321 West Mulberry, where a second exchange of gunfire occurred and Smith was killed. The Cross County prosecuting attorney ordered arrests: Mason was charged with first-degree murder; Miller and Scott were charged with committing a terroristic act and criminal attempt to commit first-degree murder.

Was anyone in Wynne that day aware of the confrontation or did someone see the vehicle moving between the two addresses?
