Samuel Chris Gilmore was 19 when he was shot and killed on the night of July 17, 2017, in Little Rock. He had recently moved from Texas to Little Rock. Police found him lying in the road on West 14th Street with multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene and recorded as the city’s 32nd homicide of the year.

Initial inquiries produced no immediate arrests and the circumstances were described as unclear while investigators worked to reconstruct the event. Investigators later said the killing occurred during a robbery that escalated into a fatal shooting. A 17-year-old from North Little Rock, identified as Davontay Baker, turned himself in weeks after the homicide and was charged as an adult with capital murder; he was held at the Pulaski County Jail without bond.

Did anyone in Little Rock at the time have information about Samuel’s movements or the robbery that led to his death?
