Michael O’Bryant, 51, was found dead at his home on Earnheart Road in Batesville, Arkansas, on February 2, 2023, after a welfare check by the Batesville Police Department. Investigators treated the discovery as a homicide and sent his body to the Arkansas State Crime Lab for further examination.

Police developed a theory that Richard Richie Gill had been living with O’Bryant and that an altercation between the two men escalated, resulting in O’Bryant’s death. Gill and Shanna Avery were identified as suspects who allegedly fled in O’Bryant’s white 2022 Kia K5. Officers in Oklahoma located the vehicle; a pursuit ended in a crash and both suspects were taken into custody there. Extradition back to Arkansas was initiated so the suspects could face charges related to the death.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who remember unusual activity at the Earnheart Road residence around February 2, 2023?
