A domestic disturbance in Eudora, Arkansas, on November 12, 2020 ended with the death of 33-year-old Cordera Ja’Michael Jackson. Jackson, a resident of nearby Lake Village, was at a Roosevelt Street home when a physical altercation with a 19-year-old woman escalated. During the struggle, an intervening individual identified as Scottie Smith produced a firearm and shot Jackson multiple times.

Officers arrived about 2:20 p.m.; Jackson was found outside the house with gunshot wounds, taken to a local hospital, and pronounced dead at 4:10 p.m. Smith fled into nearby woods and was the subject of a multi-agency manhunt. He was located and arrested in Louisiana on November 15, 2020 and efforts were made to extradite him to Chicot County. The Arkansas State Police Criminal Investigation Division led the homicide probe and Jackson’s body was sent to the State Crime Laboratory for official cause and manner determination.

If anyone witnessed the November 12 incident on Roosevelt Street or has information about what led up to the shooting, please share tips with investigators.
