On August 1, 2016, 20-year-old Jarvis Garner was shot and killed at the EZ Mart on Mara Lynn Road in Little Rock. The shooting occurred in the store parking lot near the gas pumps after a confrontation that followed an argument Garner had earlier that morning with his girlfriend, who had walked to the convenience store.

When Garner arrived, the store clerk, 28-year-old Nicholas Beasley, confronted him and an exchange of words escalated. Beasley produced a handgun and fired multiple shots, and Garner died at the scene. Beasley told police he believed Garner was about to hit him and claimed self-defense. The Little Rock Police Department arrested Beasley and charged him with first-degree murder; he pleaded not guilty and bond was set at $50,000.

What details about that morning or witnesses in the store parking lot might help clarify how the confrontation began and what happened during the shooting?
