Nineteen-year-old Adeline King of Blytheville, Arkansas, was killed after a brief stop at a neighborhood party on the night of August 8, 2015. According to accounts, she had gone to the gathering on Anderson Street to drop off a friend and say a quick hello. An argument erupted when she greeted a male friend who had once been involved with her sister, and the man’s ex-girlfriend became enraged. The quarrel escalated into gunfire when a man pulled a gun and opened fire in the packed house and yard.

Twelve people were shot that night; King died of her injuries at a hospital and several others, including at least two children, were treated at Great River Medical Center and Regional One Health in Memphis. The scene spilled into the hospital, where about two hundred people converged and a fight broke out, forcing additional law-enforcement support to restore order. Investigators tied the shooting to an ongoing feud involving King and later named 27-year-old Billy Dee Williams of Tulsa as a suspect; an arrest warrant was issued and he was later reported arrested on the Blytheville warrant in Oklahoma City. Many witnesses at the party were reportedly reluctant to speak, and prosecutors urged the community to come forward.

Does anyone have information about the events on Anderson Street that night or knew Adeline King?
