Joshua Matthew Edward Olscwa, 34, was fatally shot in North Little Rock, Arkansas, on July 7, 2021. The shooting occurred in the 10000 block of Mundo Road; a single gunshot drew a neighbor’s attention and led to authorities discovering the scene. Joshua was a Jacksonville resident and is survived by his wife, three children, and a large extended family.

The Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office announced an arrest the next day. Brandy Copeland, 30, was taken into custody and charged with first-degree murder and possession of a firearm. Authorities did not immediately release a motive or describe the relationship between Olscwa and Copeland. Arrangements were made for Joshua’s funeral and burial in Jacksonville as the legal process began.

If anyone knew Joshua or has information about what happened on Mundo Road that afternoon, please come forward.
