Joshua David Garner, a 40-year-old White/Caucasian man, was shot dead inside a shared home in Dover, Arkansas, on March 1, 2014. The residence housed a complex blended family: Garner lived with his girlfriend, April Derrick, and her children, and the home also included Garner’s ex-wife and her children.

According to April Derrick’s statement to authorities, she had tried to evict Garner and said he threatened to kill her. During the confrontation Derrick fatally shot Garner. Derrick was taken into custody and arrested on a charge of first-degree murder; she later pleaded guilty to a lesser count of manslaughter and received a 10-year prison sentence.

Anyone who knew Joshua, April, or the household and has information about what happened that day is asked to come forward.
