Charlene Rebecca Neal Jewell, 57, was shot and killed on July 23, 2020, during a car ride in Jonesboro, Arkansas. She lived in Jonesboro, was born in Memphis, Tennessee, and worked for Sodexo USA. She was described as outgoing and caring and is survived by a son, a daughter, her mother, and three grandchildren.

The shooting occurred while Charlene and her husband, David Dale Jewell Sr., were taking his adult son to work at Arkansas State University. An argument in the vehicle escalated, the husband produced a .25-caliber pistol, and a single bullet struck Charlene in the back. She was taken to St. Bernards Medical Center, where she died of her wound.

David Dale Jewell Sr. was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. Testimony at trial included the couple’s son, who witnessed the incident, and a coworker who said they overheard the argument on a phone call; the jury returned a guilty verdict and imposed a lengthy prison sentence with a firearm enhancement. Did anyone in the Jonesboro area know Charlene or have information about that morning?
