Investigators identified Lee County resident Jeff Tucker as the primary suspect. Tucker was located the next day, and a six-hour standoff involving the Arkansas State Police and a SWAT team ended with his arrest. He was charged with capital murder in connection with Granville’s death.

The killing drew attention to gun violence in the Arkansas Delta and left Granville’s community grieving. If anyone knew Derek Granville or has information about what happened on Jordan Street that night, please come forward to assist the ongoing case.
