On May 27, 2017, 25-year-old Dwight D.J. Smith Jr., a Morrilton, Arkansas resident, was shot during a physical altercation inside Jose’s Supper Club on East Broadway at about 2:00 a.m. He was privately transported to St. Vincent-Morrilton ER but was pronounced dead at the hospital.

The Morrilton Police Department, with assistance from the Arkansas State Police, investigated the shooting. A suspect was identified and a warrant issued; on May 31, 2017, 21-year-old Justin Mackenzie Kilgore surrendered at the Morrilton Police Department and was taken into custody, charged with first-degree murder and detained at the Conway County Detention Center.

Smith’s death affected the Morrilton community, where he was described as well-known and loved. Does anyone have information about that night at Jose’s Supper Club or knew Dwight and can help fill in what happened?
