Dustin Wayne Brown
Stephen Tye Curtiss
At approximately 6:20 p.m. last night the Garland County Sheriff's Office was called to a shooting on Barite Street, in eastern Garland County, that left one male victim deceased and a female victim with minor injuries.
Very early reports indicated that two unnamed, possibly known, suspects allegedly followed the victims to a residence on Barite, where an argument and fist fight ensued. During the argument, one of the suspects pulled a gun and shot the male victim, who died at the scene. At some point during the fist fight, the female victim was struck in the head and/or face area by one of the suspects and was transported to a local hospital with non life threatening injuries and will be released shortly.
The suspects left the scene in an unknown vehicle.
The deceased victim has been identified as 25 year old David Halpin and the injured female victim is 29 year old Amber Brinsfield.
Investigators worked through the night to identify, locate and arrest the two alleged suspects in the homicide last night. They are identified as 24 year old Dustin Wayne Brown and 26 year old Stephen Tye Curtiss.
Investigators were able to determine a possible location, in Grant County, where the suspects may be. With the help of the Arkansas State Police, Grant County Sheriff’s Department and Sheridan Police Department, the suspects were located at a residence there where local officers were able to make contact with them and take them into custody without incident.
Both were booked into the Garland County Jail at approximately 7:30 a.m. this morning and have been charged with 1st Degree Murder and Battery 2nd Degree, and are being held with no bond.
At this point we still do not have a motive for the shooting, do not know the relationships between the parties and both suspects have declined to talk with investigators. The investigation is ongoing and no further information is available.
