On July 24, 2017, 14-year-old Cyncere Alexander was found dead in his father’s apartment at the Pleasant Pointe Apartments on Green Mountain Drive in Little Rock, Arkansas. He had suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. His father, Chris Alexander, was summoned by another son who first believed Cyncere had been beaten and then realized he had been shot.

The Little Rock Police Department launched an extensive investigation that remained unsolved for nearly a year while authorities sought public leads. On July 12, 2018, police announced arrests in the case: Keterrioun Chandler, 20, of North Little Rock, turned himself in and was charged with capital murder and aggravated robbery. Three others — Tyler Jackson, 19, of Conway; Machita Mitchell, 42, of Little Rock; and Kenwan Sherrod, 21, of Little Rock — were in custody on unrelated charges when they were arrested in connection with the killing. Motive was not immediately disclosed.

Does anyone have information about Cyncere’s movements on July 23–24, 2017, or about associates who might help explain what happened?
