Tamela Jones, 52, was found fatally shot behind an abandoned house on Arch Street in Little Rock in the early morning of May 8, 2017. A nearby witness reported hearing gunshots the previous night, indicating the killing may have happened after dark.

Hours after Jones’s body was removed, the same abandoned house caught fire. Firefighters extinguished the blaze and investigators treated the fire as suspicious because of its timing and location in relation to the homicide scene.

Police did not identify suspects or a motive at the time, and no arrests have been announced. The case remains unsolved and is listed among Little Rock’s cold homicides from 2017.

If anyone knew Tamela, saw activity near Arch Street that night, or has information that could help, please come forward.
