On the afternoon of November 2, 2025, 26-year-old Treveon Jones of Stuttgart was fatally shot in JB Bryant Park, a neighborhood green space where families and children had been gathered. Neighbors rushed him to a nearby hospital after he was struck by at least one bullet, but he was pronounced dead shortly afterward. His grandfather, Charles Jones, witnessed the scene from his yard and later said he saw someone firing near the park before learning his grandson had been hit.

An obituary for Treveon Jones lists his birth date as September 3, 1999, and names survivors including his mother Andrea Jones, grandfather Charles Jones, grandmother Joyce Lewis, multiple siblings, and two young daughters. Visitation and funeral services were held in mid-November, followed by burial at Mt. Pisgah Cemetery.

Police announced a joint investigation by the Stuttgart Police Department and Arkansas State Police. Authorities arrested a suspect, identified by police as Lemontae Thompson, on November 7, 2025; county booking records list a Lemonte Thompson charged with first-degree murder and other felonies in connection with the shooting. Investigators continued to ask the public for tips. If anyone was at JB Bryant Park that afternoon or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
