An eight-year-old boy from Olive Branch, Mississippi, was killed during a family visit to Helena-West Helena, Arkansas. Keishun Hollis was visiting relatives on Saturday, October 17, 2020, when a domestic dispute between his aunt and her boyfriend, identified as Hector Lopez, erupted. As the aunt attempted to leave with Keishun in her vehicle, Lopez allegedly opened fire on the car and a bullet struck the child, killing him.

Lopez fled the scene but was located and taken into custody the next morning. He was charged with capital murder, second-degree domestic battery, and aggravated assault in connection with the shooting that ended Keishun’s life.

If anyone was in Helena-West Helena on October 17, 2020, or has information about that night, please come forward to investigators.
