Joshua Keshun Smith was 21 and an engineering student when he was shot and killed in the parking lot of the Donald W. Reynolds Campus and Community Center at Southern Arkansas University in Magnolia on August 11, 2020. The incident occurred late at night, shortly before a new semester, and authorities described it as a drug deal that turned violent. Another student was wounded but survived.

A multi‑agency investigation involving SAU Police, Magnolia Police, the Columbia County Sheriff’s Department, Arkansas State Police and U.S. Marshals led to arrests a few days later. Four people were charged with capital murder: Odies Wilson of North Little Rock; LeKamerin Tolbert and Quincy Isaiah Lewis, both of Little Rock; and Shaivonn Robinson of Vacherie, Louisiana. One defendant, identified in reports as Odies Wilson IV, later pleaded guilty to murder and received a 60-year prison sentence.
