On the evening of February 27, 2016, gunfire erupted in North Little Rock, Arkansas. Officers who responded about 8:30 p.m. found three men with gunshot wounds; 19-year-old Jevon Shearer, a Black male, was among them. All three were taken to local hospitals. Two men survived injuries described as not life-threatening, but Shearer died of his wounds and was pronounced dead.

The shooting began as a violent altercation. Authorities continued an investigation into the triple shooting and sought those responsible. A suspect was later arrested and faced trial in connection with Shearer’s death, but the trial did not produce a conviction. The killing left Shearer’s family and the community searching for answers.

If anyone has information about the events that night or knew Jevon, please come forward with what you can share.
