A double homicide in Horatio, Arkansas ended in a manhunt and a fatal shootout in Oklahoma. On a Saturday afternoon in July, deputies answering a disturbance on Cottage Hill Road encountered 40-year-old Andre Johnson leaving a home; he fled and was later connected to the deaths of two people found in a field behind the residence after a reported fire. The victims were 66-year-old Debra Ann Johnson and her 70-year-old brother-in-law Don L. Brown, both killed by gunshot wounds.

Authorities tracked Andre Johnson across state lines. Police in Broken Bow, about 28 miles from Horatio, spotted his vehicle that same evening, and a pursuit ended on a dead-end street. Johnson exited his car and opened fire; officers returned fire and he was killed. No motive for the killings has been made public.

Did anyone in Horatio or the surrounding area know the family or notice anything unusual before that July afternoon?
