Kevin Brazell, 43, was found in the parking lot of an apartment complex at 2200 S. Hazel in Pine Bluff on the evening of June 10, 2021. Police arrived at about 9:08 p.m. and discovered he had sustained apparent gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene. His death was counted as the city’s 12th homicide that year and the fourth homicide in Pine Bluff that week.

Officers took a suspect into custody at the scene. Vincent Peal, 48, was arrested and later booked into the Jefferson County Jail on a charge of first-degree murder. The killings that week prompted local faith leaders to place crosses around the city as a memorial and to draw attention to rising violence.

If anyone has information about Kevin’s death or saw activity around 2200 S. Hazel on the evening of June 10, 2021, please come forward.
