Lawless Kennedy, 49, was fatally shot in Blytheville, Arkansas, on April 2, 2015. A Black man remembered by friends and family as caring and funny, Kennedy worked as a manager at a local Save-A-Lot and had attended Arkansas Northeastern College. His death was one of six homicides recorded in the city that year and left the community seeking answers.

Investigators arrested 17-year-old Artavious Hamon in connection with the killing; Hamon was tried as an adult and charged with first-degree murder. He later pleaded guilty and received a sentence after a plea agreement that reduced the original first-degree murder charge. The motive has not been extensively publicized.

If anyone knew Lawless Kennedy or has information about the case, please come forward.
