On the afternoon of February 15, 2018, 18-year-old Demarco Jhere Taylor was shot and killed at a home on Bernard Drive in Conway, Arkansas. Police initially responded to a reported home invasion around 5 p.m., but investigators later learned Demarco had been invited into the residence and was accompanied by another person. Authorities say the homeowner told them Demarco attempted to rob him, and the homeowner shot Demarco in what was described as an act of self-defense. The other person fled and police were investigating to identify that individual.

Officers found Demarco deceased at the scene and questioned the homeowner; no immediate charges were filed while the self-defense claim was being reviewed and the case was classified as a homicide. Demarco’s family remembered him as the comedian of the household, kind-hearted and protective of his siblings. Did anyone see or hear anything in the Bernard Drive area that afternoon that could help clarify what happened?
