Antwon Mooney, a 27-year-old Black/African American man, was shot and killed in Helena-West Helena, Arkansas, on the night of October 19, 2019. Police responded about 10:22 p.m. to reports of gunfire and found Mooney inside a vehicle that had crashed into a ditch at North Third Street and East Baldwin Avenue. He had multiple gunshot wounds, was conscious when help arrived, and was taken to Helena Regional Medical Center, where he died of his injuries.

Mooney’s death was the third homicide in the city in just over 48 hours, coming after the shootings of 20-year-old Jamarius Reese and 24-year-old Donameka Ballard. Authorities did not immediately say whether Mooney’s killing was connected to the other two homicides, and the Helena-West Helena Police Chief announced plans for a citywide curfew following the weekend’s violence. As of the latest information, no arrests have been announced in Mooney’s case and the investigation remains ongoing.

If anyone knew Antwon Mooney or has information about the shooting on October 19, please contact the Helena-West Helena Police Department.
