Keyeon Cortez Dukes was 27 when he was found inside his black Dodge Ram near the 7500 block of Interstate 30 in Little Rock on July 3, 2021, suffering from gunshot wounds. He was taken to the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences but died from his injuries, the city’s 31st homicide that year.

Keyeon was a father of two young children, a 7-year-old daughter, Khalani, and a 4-year-old son, Keyeon Jr., and his family was expecting another child. Relatives remembered him as warm and expressive, someone who told people they were beautiful and who had a distinctive style. They held a balloon release before his burial.

The Little Rock Police Department collected witness statements and security footage from nearby businesses and identified two suspects; a 15-year-old was arrested and charged with capital murder on July 25, 2021, and the other suspect was later located in Houston, Texas. If anyone knew Keyeon or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
