On May 15, 2016, at about 2:20 p.m., deputies with the Cleburne County Sheriff’s Office found the bodies of 55-year-old Tim New and 21-year-old Sawyer New at a home on Heber Springs Road West in Quitman, Arkansas. Both men died of gunshot wounds and were pronounced dead at the scene; the Arkansas State Crime Laboratory assisted with autopsies.

Tim New was born in Little Rock, graduated from Quitman High School, served as a firefighter with the Little Rock Fire Department, and later worked as a sales representative for a company that sold fire trucks and emergency response vehicles. He was known locally for being outgoing, helpful, and a talented musician who played in several bands.

Investigators have not publicly identified any suspects and no arrests have been announced. Does anyone in the Quitman area have information about Tim or Sawyer’s movements that afternoon?
