Blair Symone Sims was fatally shot on December 28, 2016, in Little Rock, Arkansas. The 25-year-old was at the Barrington Hills Apartments on Reservoir Road when she went to the unit she shared with her girlfriend, Alexia Stephens, intending to end the relationship. An altercation followed; Stephens reported hearing gunshots and finding Sims with a gunshot wound to her upper torso. Sims was taken to UAMS Medical Center and pronounced dead.

Jerrold Howard, 30, of West Memphis, was identified as the primary suspect. Witnesses reported seeing Howard holding a handgun before he fled. Authorities described him as armed and dangerous and pursued him as a possible driver of a blue Chrysler 200. Howard had prior convictions including first-degree battery and simultaneous possession of drugs and firearms and was later apprehended in Illinois and charged in connection with the shooting. Friends and family remembered Sims as loving and outgoing; days before her death she had shared a message of peace on Facebook Live.

Did anyone in the Little Rock area know Blair or have information about the events at the Barrington Hills Apartments that night?
