On the morning of Sunday, January 10, 2016, 36-year-old Shalonda Yornell Binns was found dead from gunshot wounds inside her home at 120 South Chester Street in Monticello, Arkansas. Police were called to the address about 6:20 AM after a report of a homicide.

Authorities also discovered 37-year-old Jeremiah Jones dead from apparent gunshot wounds inside a car not far from Binns’s home. Lavar Thompson of Dermott was located at Binns’s residence with a gunshot wound and taken to a Little Rock hospital. Investigators later identified Thompson as the suspect and an arrest warrant for Capital Murder was issued; he was apprehended in Little Rock on January 12, 2016.

Court records say Thompson, an ex-boyfriend of Binns, had been with Jones and another woman earlier that morning, and that after a dispute he shot Jones and the other woman before going to Binns’s house, forcing entry and fatally shooting her. Did anyone in the Monticello area have information about Shalonda’s movements that morning or about connections between the people involved?
