Late on the night of March 18, 2018, police in Little Rock found a vehicle that had left the roadway and come to rest between two houses in the 2100 block of Oak Street. Inside officers discovered 22-year-old Nathan Sullivan and 21-year-old Cierria Onukwube, both with gunshot wounds. Nathan was pronounced dead at the scene; Cierria was taken to a hospital and later died. The city recorded these as its eighth and ninth homicides of the year.

Little Rock police opened an investigation but did not release a motive, identify any suspects, or announce arrests in the immediate reports. Family members and the community were left seeking answers after the double homicide.

If anyone saw activity in the area of South Oak and West 21st streets on the night of March 18, 2018, or has information about Nathan or Cierria’s deaths, please come forward.
