Sharniece Renea Hughes, 35, was shot and killed outside her home on Mabelvale Pike in Little Rock on Monday, September 5, 2016. The shooting occurred in broad daylight with multiple people nearby. Hughes worked at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and was active with the Junior League of Little Rock; her death prompted widespread grief and an outcry on social media.

Police identified 32-year-old Curtis Dorsey as the primary suspect and issued a warrant, describing him as armed and dangerous and driving a dark-colored 2014 Toyota Tundra. Investigators reported Hughes and Dorsey were business partners in a food trailer and that Hughes had expressed an intention to buy out Dorsey’s share on the day she was killed.

A multi-agency search followed after the warrant was issued; Dorsey was later located in El Paso, Texas and crossed into Mexico while fleeing from police, and was ultimately captured in Clarksburg, West Virginia on July 13, 2017. If anyone knew Sharniece or saw activity near Mabelvale Pike on September 5, 2016, please share what was observed.
