Carlos Demetrius Sanders was 34 when he was shot and killed at his home in Marianna, Arkansas, on the evening of December 9, 2019. Gunfire rang out in his front yard and his sister found him on the porch; he died at the scene. The Marianna Police Department identified three people in connection with the shooting and arrested James Brownlee, Clark Bailey Jr., and Tyler Moody on capital murder charges.

Investigators reportedly used data from an ankle monitor to link the suspects to the crime. Two of the arrested men, Brownlee and Moody, were later released after formal charges were not filed within the 60-day statutory period, a procedural lapse that prompted a dispute between the prosecutor’s office and the Marianna Police Department. The family continues to seek resolution in the death of Carlos Sanders.

Did anyone in Marianna have information about what happened that night or about the people involved?
