Sergeant Myron Kelly, 45, was killed while on duty in Osceola, Arkansas, on March 16, 1997. A law enforcement officer with eight years’ service, Kelly was part of a three-officer team searching a residence for a robbery suspect believed to be hiding. The suspect had concealed himself in a bedroom closet; when Kelly opened the closet door the man opened fire with a handgun. Sergeant Kelly, who was not wearing his protective vest, was struck five times and died of his wounds. A second officer in the room was shot twice, but those rounds were stopped by his vest.

The gunman was taken into custody at the scene. The suspect was later convicted of capital murder and received a sentence of life in prison without parole. Did anyone in the Osceola area have contact with Sergeant Kelly or information about that night that could shed more light on what happened?
