Christopher Don Crawford, 42, died Friday, June 28, 2019, in Newport, Arkansas. Born May 15, 1977, he was a lifelong Newport resident, a Tuckerman High School graduate, married to Angie for eleven years, a member of the Church of Christ, and worked for a local heating and air company. He enjoyed fishing, camping, grilling and was remembered for his sense of humor.

The National Gun Violence Memorial lists him as a victim of gun violence on June 28, 2019, and some reports are referenced as having covered a fatal shooting and an arrest. Other notices, including an obituary and a crime watch site, describe his death as appearing to be from natural causes with no foul play suspected and no arrests reported. The true circumstances remain unclear based on those conflicting accounts.
