Kentarius Montrell Peanut Scott was 25 when he was shot and killed in the Twin Peaks restaurant parking lot at 10 Shackleford Drive in Little Rock on August 29, 2020. The student at Philander Smith College, a business major and member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., was described by family as determined and caring, with plans that included joining the Air Force, starting a landscaping business, and creating a mental health program.

Police say the shooting followed a brief argument inside the restaurant with 21-year-old Darean Deshun Moore. Scott walked outside, Moore followed and shot him, then fled on foot. Officers arrived after a call about the shooting at approximately 11:14 p.m.; Scott was found with gunshot wounds and later pronounced dead. Investigators identified Moore from witness statements and surveillance; he was located at a gas station in North Little Rock and taken into custody on charges of first-degree murder.

Kentarius’s mother, Elizabeth Jones, has since spoken out against gun violence. Does anyone have information about Kentarius, his time at Philander Smith College, or the events that night?
