A family disturbance in Little Rock in the autumn of 2016 ended with the fatal shooting of 53-year-old James Danthony Spark. He was found dead at a residence on Vega Drive on November 14, 2016.

Initial investigation focused on his 23-year-old son, James Daniel Sparkman, who was taken into custody and released without charges after claiming self-defense. Later, investigators developed additional evidence that led to a warrant for the son’s arrest. In February 2017 he surrendered, was charged with first-degree murder, held without bond at the Pulaski County jail, and pleaded not guilty.

Who knew James Danthony Spark or his family and can shed light on what happened that night?
