On August 17, 2016, 29-year-old Matthew Jay Self-Phillips was found dead from a gunshot wound in the front yard of a residence on North Six and a Half Mile Road in Paris, Arkansas. The Logan County Sheriff’s Office and the Arkansas State Police responded to a report of a shooting and opened a joint homicide investigation.

Investigators identified 38-year-old Zachariah Gray Chamberlain as a person of interest and discovered he had a prior domestic abuse conviction in Texas that barred him from possessing firearms in Arkansas. Chamberlain was initially arrested on charges of possession of a firearm by certain persons and later charged with manslaughter in connection with Self-Phillips’s death; bond was set at $75,000. Self-Phillips, a Paris High School graduate who studied criminology, was remembered by his family, including his daughter, as a loving father.
