The U.S. Marshals Service has put up a reward of up to $5,000 for information that leads to the arrest of 27-year-old Dai-Kwon Armond, a fugitive wanted in a 2023 capital-murder investigation in Springdale, Arkansas. Investigators say Armond is accused of driving another man to the scene and supplying the gun used in the killing. He was last seen in Little Rock and is described as a Black man about 5 feet 10 inches tall and 185 pounds.
Marshals Set Reward And Share Whereabouts Trail
In a June 11 press release, the U.S. Marshals Service said the reward will go to anyone whose tip directly results in Armond’s arrest. Officials urged the public to submit leads through the agency’s online tip portal or by calling the U.S. Marshals Communications Center at 1-800-336-0102. The release lists Armond as 27 years old and notes that he has ties not only to the Little Rock area but also to Kansas City, Missouri, and Knoxville, Tennessee. It also includes a photo and the Marshals’ physical description of the suspect.
What Investigators Say About The 2023 Shooting
According to Springdale police, officers were dispatched on April 7, 2023, to an apartment on Powell Street, where 32-year-old Deunrae Livingston was found with a gunshot wound and later pronounced dead, local reporting shows. Video footage and a probable-cause affidavit gave investigators a timeline around the scene, and DNA testing of clothing recovered in the case reportedly linked another man to the killing, according to KHBS/4029TV. Local authorities arrested Ray Jordan earlier this year and charged him in Washington County in connection with Livingston’s death.
Charges, Federal Link And Legal Status
Court filings and local coverage say Jordan entered a not-guilty plea in April, and that a related arrest warrant was issued for Armond. Officials say Armond has not been arrested. The Marshals’ notice also states that Armond faces a federal supervised-release violation in the Eastern District of Arkansas, in addition to the state capital-murder case, which could subject him to separate federal proceedings, as reported by KNWA/FOX24. Prosecutors have not released a public statement on any possible motive.
How To Share Tips
News outlets republishing the Marshals’ bulletin are circulating the agency photo and tip line, and officials are asking anyone who believes they recognize Armond to contact law enforcement rather than approach him. Local reporting by 101theeagle summarizes the Marshals’ instructions: call 1-800-336-0102 or submit a tip through the U.S. Marshals online portal. The agency says a reward of up to $5,000 will be paid for information that leads to Armond’s arrest.
