On February 13, 2019, at about 2:32 p.m., 20-year-old Zyrique Shy’Quon E-Lee Zack Geans was shot and killed in the Rock Island neighborhood of Stuttgart, Arkansas. Law enforcement opened an immediate investigation into the deadly shooting.

Shortly after the killing, two men, Chyvontae L. Powell and Keenen Hudson, were taken into custody and charged with first-degree murder. In August 2022 Powell pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and received a 30-year sentence with credit for time already served. In January 2023 Hudson went to trial; eyewitnesses placed him firing a handgun from a purple Chevrolet Camaro toward the residence where Geans was, and shell casings and gunshot residue tied evidence to the vehicle and Hudson. A jury convicted Hudson of capital murder and imposed life without parole plus a 15-year firearm enhancement.

If anyone in Stuttgart remembers the afternoon of February 13, 2019, or has information about events leading up to the shooting, please share what is known.
