On June 25, 2020, the body of 17-year-old Brayla Stone, a Black transgender girl, was found inside a vehicle parked on a walking path in Sherwood, Arkansas. Investigators ruled her death a homicide after determining she had been shot and killed. The case drew national attention and sparked community vigils, with advocates urging respectful treatment of transgender victims and an end to misgendering by authorities and media.

Within a week of the discovery, police arrested 18-year-old Trevone Hayse Miller in connection with the killing. Witnesses reported Miller was the last person seen with Brayla. Prosecutors later said Miller killed her to prevent her from revealing their sexual relationship because he feared being perceived as gay. In August 2021 Miller, then 20, pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and was sentenced to 50 years, with parole eligibility only after serving at least 35 years.

Did anyone who knew Brayla or saw her in Sherwood around June 2020 notice anything that could help clarify the events leading to her death?
