Sidney Farver Jr., a 21-year-old Black man, was shot on the night of January 26, 2013, near 18th and Elm Streets in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. Despite multiple gunshot wounds, he managed to drive himself to a Church’s Chicken on South Cherry Street where emergency services were summoned. He was taken to Jefferson Regional Medical Center and pronounced dead later that evening.

The initial shots fired call in Farver’s neighborhood became a homicide investigation. One year later, on January 30, 2014, police arrested 21-year-old Percy Jackson and charged him with two counts of capital murder, including the killing of Farver; authorities also linked Jackson to a separate January 18, 2014, shooting that left another person dead and two others wounded. Jackson was held at the Jefferson County Jail while investigations continued.

If anyone knew Sidney, was in that neighborhood on January 26, 2013, or has information about either shooting, please share what is known.
