On the morning of March 27, 2020, officers responded to a residence at 2924 S. Gaines Street in Little Rock after a woman reported shots had been fired. Inside the home they found 31-year-old Jeremy Bonds, a Black man, deceased from a gunshot wound. The scene was secured and a homicide investigation opened.

A resident of the house, 41-year-old Keith Farr Jr., was identified as a person of interest and questioned by homicide detectives. Farr told investigators the shooting was in self-defense; he was not immediately arrested on the homicide but was charged with possession of a firearm by certain persons. After further review of evidence and witness statements, an arrest warrant for homicide was issued for Farr and he was booked into the Pulaski County jail. The case was forwarded to the Pulaski County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office for review.

Anyone who knew Jeremy Bonds or who has information about what happened at the South Gaines Street residence on March 27, 2020, is asked to come forward.
