On the evening of May 10, 2014, Fadi Frankie Qandil, a 34-year-old self-employed businessman from Amman, Jordan who ran Frankie Q Auto Sales in Fort Smith, Arkansas, was killed in a shooting in the Central Mall parking lot. Witnesses said Qandil approached his estranged wife, Tabatha Qandil, and two companions, Grayson Herrera and Dustin O'Conner, and displayed a firearm tucked into his waistband. Herrera and O'Conner, both legally carrying concealed weapons, drew their guns and a shootout followed.

Off-duty police inside the mall heard the shots, rushed out, disarmed Herrera and O'Conner, and Herrera was taken to a hospital with injuries. Qandil was pronounced dead at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds to his upper torso. The Sebastian County Prosecuting Attorney, Daniel Shue, reviewed the case and announced no criminal charges would be filed, ruling Herrera and O'Conner acted in self-defense and describing the death as a justifiable homicide.

Did anyone in Fort Smith witness the confrontation or have information about what led up to the shooting?
