On a Friday night in March 2019, 23-year-old Senior Airman Shawn Mckeough Jr. was shot and killed during an attempted robbery at the Valero Big Red gas station on West Broadway Avenue in North Little Rock, Arkansas. Mckeough was inside the convenience store when two armed men entered; he tried to intervene and was fatally shot. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

North Little Rock Police used surveillance footage to identify suspects and arrested four people. Police named 18-year-old Drequan Robinson as the shooter; 18-year-old Keith Harris Jr. was arrested after admitting he was a passenger in the vehicle and knew about the planned robbery. Two juveniles, 17-year-old Darrius Stewart and 16-year-old Keith Keshawn Harris, were also charged as adults; Stewart was identified as the second armed suspect and the younger Harris as the getaway driver. Robinson later pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and aggravated robbery and received a 60-year sentence; the others also pleaded guilty and received shorter prison terms. Two years after the killing, Mckeough’s family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the gas station’s parent company alleging inadequate employee training on robbery prevention and intervention.

Did anyone in the community know Shawn Mckeough or witness the robbery that night?
