On March 25, 1998, five-year-old Sean Michael Sorg was one of five people shot to death inside a mobile home in Jefferson, Arkansas. The other victims named were his mother, Shelly Marie Erwin Sorg, 24; his sister, Taylor Nicole Sorg, 3; their cousin, Misty Dawn Erwin, 20; and a 12-year-old family friend, Samantha Marcia Dianne Rhodes.

Authorities identified Clay King Smith, described as Misty Erwin’s ex-boyfriend, as the person who entered the home with a rifle and fatally shot all five occupants. Reports say Misty Erwin had previously accused Smith of domestic abuse but later withdrew a complaint. A manhunt led to a standoff near Star City in Lincoln County; Smith was shot in the arm by police, taken into custody, and heard making incriminating remarks to officers.

Smith was charged with five counts of capital murder. If anyone knew Sean, his family, or was in the Jefferson area that March, any information could still be important.
