Donney Keith Ballew was a 64-year-old man from North Little Rock who was shot and killed on Friday, February 26, 2021. The city identified him as North Little Rock’s first homicide victim of 2021.

Investigators initially disclosed few details about what led to the encounter on Hudman Road or how Ballew and the person or persons who shot him came together. Within days police arrested Jeremy Johnson, a 36-year-old man from Jacksonville, and charged him with capital murder in connection with the killing. Later public notices show that on March 12, 2022, the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office charged 64-year-old Larry Wayne Storm with first-degree murder in the same case; those filings are separate from the early arrest announcements.

Ballew’s obituary and remembrances emphasize his family ties and the people he taught to hunt and fish. What, if anything, links the different scenes and the arrested individuals to a motive or the sequence of events on February 26, 2021?
