Kayla Marie Keatts, a 20-year-old Black woman, was fatally shot in Texarkana, Arkansas on Wednesday, March 17, 2021. The shooting occurred shortly before noon in the 1000 block of Locust Street. Officers found Kayla with gunshot wounds and she was taken to a local hospital in critical condition; she died later that evening.

Investigators identified 18-year-old Jason Stewart Jr. of Texarkana as the person involved. He was reported to be Kayla’s boyfriend, fled the scene on foot, then turned himself in to detectives later that day and was booked into the Bi-State Jail. His initial charge of first-degree domestic battery was upgraded to first-degree murder, and bail was set at $500,000.

A graveside service for Kayla was held on March 27, 2021. Does anyone have information about Kayla’s last day or about the events on Locust Street that morning?
