Jessee Wade Arthur, 26, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of February 14, 2017, in the parking lot of the Super 8 Motel on McCain Park Drive in North Little Rock, Arkansas. Officers found Arthur with gunshot wounds and he was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators believed a robbery escalated to murder.

Within days the North Little Rock Police Department identified two suspects: 22-year-old Chester Lee Smith of Little Rock and 25-year-old Nathaniel Clark of Sherwood. Both were later charged with capital murder and aggravated robbery. Smith surrendered in North Little Rock and Clark surrendered at a probation and parole office in Conway; court records did not show either had been formally charged at the time of their surrenders. Authorities said further arrests were anticipated as the investigation continued.

If anyone has information about Arthur’s movements that night or the events in the motel parking lot, please share tips with the North Little Rock Police Department.
