On the early morning of October 3, 2020, 21-year-old University of Arkansas student Chase Reel was shot and killed during a home invasion in Fayetteville. Chase and his roommate, Jacob Hogue, returned to find an intruder burgling their residence. Hogue was confronted and held at gunpoint for about 30 minutes before Chase arrived.

Chase went to his bedroom to retrieve a rifle and was shot once by the intruder, who had a pistol he had found inside the home. The attacker was later identified as 26-year-old Travis Trustin. Chase was a student in the Sam M. Walton College of Business and a member of the Sigma Chi Fraternity; friends and family remembered him for a bright smile, warm heart, and participation in mission trips to Mexico to build houses for the homeless.

Trustin had prior arrests and pending cases at the time of the invasion. Reports say neither Chase nor his roommate had met the intruder before that night. Does anyone have information about that night or the neighborhood in Fayetteville around October 3, 2020?
