A neighborhood dispute over a stray dog in Blytheville, Arkansas, on June 11, 2018, escalated into a barrage of gunfire that killed 22-year-old Alonzo Markell Sanders. More than 20 rounds were fired at the Sanders family home on Sales Street; windows were shattered and multiple people were struck. Alonzo was hit in the head, airlifted to Regional One Hospital, and later died of his injuries.

The same night also claimed 35-year-old Antonio Harris, who was struck by a truck and died while attempting to de-escalate the situation. Two teenagers were wounded and hospitalized. Blytheville Police used surveillance footage from the Sanders home to identify people involved; one person was taken into custody while the investigation continued to locate other possible suspects.

Alonzo’s family had already suffered another recent loss: his mother had lost a daughter to separate violence in April 2018. If anyone in Blytheville saw activity on Sales Street that night or can help identify those responsible, please come forward with information.
