A family dispute in Forrest City, Arkansas, over alleged stolen money ended in a fatal shooting on Monday, September 7, 2015. Martesz DeAngelo Childers Sr., 29, was found with apparent gunshot wounds and later died at a local hospital. Childers was Black.
The shooting reportedly followed an argument after Childers accused his 16-year-old nephew of taking money. Officers pursued the teenager to the home of the boy’s father; after a foot chase the youth was taken into custody and the firearm believed to have been used was recovered inside the residence. The Forrest City Police Department announced the 16-year-old would be charged as an adult with first-degree murder and with possession of a firearm by a minor.
If anyone knew Martesz or was in Forrest City around September 7, 2015, with information about the case, please share what is known.
