Michael Lee Roberts, 55, was shot and killed inside a Van Buren home on Wednesday, November 18, 2015. Police were called to a residence in the 400 block of N. 24th Street after a report of a shooting and found Michael deceased. Investigators say the shooting occurred after a physical altercation with his older brother and that a shotgun was allegedly used.

The suspect was identified as Michael’s 56-year-old brother, Curtis Don Roberts. Curtis was hospitalized for injuries sustained during the incident before being taken into custody and charged with first-degree murder. He was held at the Crawford County Detention Center with bond set at $75,000. Family members described a long history of arguments and said the brothers didn’t get along; Michael had recently moved in with Curtis after a breakup.

If anyone knew Michael or saw activity at the 400 block of N. 24th Street on or around November 18, 2015, please share what you know.
