On the afternoon of July 17, 2019, 18-year-old SaRavis Reece was shot on South Richard Drive in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. After being struck, Reece ran into a nearby house seeking help, collapsed, and was taken first to a local medical center and then transferred to a Little Rock hospital, where he died of his injuries.

The investigation produced multiple arrests and shifts in charges. Twenty-year-old Chi’dra Thomas was arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder and held at the county jail, but was later released pending further investigation. Attention then turned to 19-year-old Arnett Raphael May Jr., who was charged with capital murder. By 2022 the capital murder charge was dismissed and May pleaded guilty to aggravated assault, receiving a three-year prison sentence.

Does anyone have information about SaRavis Reece, his last movements that afternoon, or witnesses who were in the South Richard Drive area on July 17, 2019?
