Just before dawn on May 8, 2015, Jonathan Brown, 33, was found shot inside a small house off the 2300 block of South Valentine Street in Little Rock after a neighbor reported someone at their door saying a person at another residence had been shot. Officers arrived around 5:30 a.m. and found him mortally wounded; he died at the scene. Early reports withheld his name while detectives began piecing together what happened that quiet Friday morning.

Witnesses later described several people having slept in the house overnight and said an argument in the living room preceded the gunfire. Testimony at trial recounted a man stepping into the room, firing multiple rounds, leaving, then returning and firing again. The medical examiner testified Brown suffered multiple gunshot wounds, including to the chest, and that recovered bullets and casings were .45 caliber from the same unrecovered firearm. By the evening of May 8 police had publicly identified Ronnie R. Collins as wanted for first-degree murder; prosecutors charged Collins and he was arraigned on June 17, 2015.

A Pulaski County jury convicted Collins in October 2017 and the Arkansas Supreme Court affirmed the conviction on April 18, 2019. No additional suspects were identified in connection with Brown’s death.

If anyone knew Jonathan Brown or has information about the events at the Valentine Street residence, what can they add to the timeline or the people present that morning?
