Dewayne Turner was 28 when he was shot and killed in Jonesboro, Arkansas, on the evening of October 10, 2017. Police responded to reports of gunfire about 7:20 p.m. and found his body in the 900 block of Logan Avenue just east of downtown. Turner was a tattoo artist and a father of two daughters; his death deeply affected his community.

A person of interest was identified quickly. On October 12, 2017, 26-year-old Jonathan Johnson of Jonesboro was arrested and held on a first-degree murder warrant in connection with the shooting. About a year after that arrest, the first-degree murder charge against Johnson was dropped, and authorities did not pursue that charge further at that time.

Key questions remain about what led to the shooting and why the charge was dismissed; anyone who knew Dewayne Turner or has information about the events of October 10, 2017, is asked to come forward.
