Ronald Dean Esser Jr was 42 when he was fatally shot on March 17, 2017, on Oak Meadows Road near State Highway 164 in Dover, Arkansas. Authorities pronounced Esser dead at the scene. Investigators identified 19-year-old Nathaniel Z.

Symonds as a suspect and arrested him; Symonds was charged with first-degree murder and held at the Pope County Detention Center. Reports say the two were acquaintances, but details about their relationship and what led to the shooting have not been reported. The community held memorials and tributes for Esser after his death.

Does anyone have information about Esser’s movements that day or knew the nature of his connection to Symonds?
