Jarious Shaw, 22, was found with a gunshot wound in the backyard of a Norma Street home in Magnolia, Arkansas, on Monday, November 19, 2018. A passing resident flagged down a patrol officer around noon and led police to the backyard; the homeowner said she did not know Shaw and was not at the house when he was found. Shaw was taken to a nearby hospital and was later pronounced dead.

Shaw’s death was Magnolia’s first homicide in several years, and investigators initially reported no clear motive or witnesses. Within days the investigation produced an arrest warrant for Stephen Terrell Smith. U.S. Marshals arrested Smith in Louisiana the Saturday after the shooting, he was extradited to Arkansas, and charged with first-degree murder and held in the Columbia County jail.

If anyone in Magnolia had contact with Jarious in the days before November 19 or saw anything on Norma Street that midday, please share what is known with authorities.
