Carlos Araujo-Mejia, 20, was fatally shot on July 22, 2015, in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Born August 21, 1994, in Mexico, he had lived in Fort Smith for several years, graduated from Southside High School, and was active at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church.

An argument escalated when Hawley reportedly threatened to kill Garrett; Hawley then shot Carlos in the face with a shotgun. Garrett ran to a nearby home to call 911. Hawley was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, felon in possession of a firearm, and first-degree terroristic threatening, and was held without bond at the Sebastian County Detention Center.

Carlos’s funeral mass was held at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, and he was buried at Oak Cemetery. He is survived by his mother and stepfather, SanJuana Mejia and Rodrigo Sanchez; three brothers and one sister; his maternal grandparents Juan and Margarita Mejia; and maternal great-grandmother Concepcion ManJarrez.

Does anyone have information about that area or witnessed the incident on South 2nd Street?
