Frank Lloyd, 55, was shot on the afternoon of December 30, 2022, in the Sweet Home area of Pulaski County, Arkansas, after a confrontation with a neighbor on the 3500 block of Tony Road. Deputies arrived about 2 p.m. to find Lloyd with multiple gunshot wounds; he was conscious and identified his shooter as Makil, later reported as Makel or Makil Lowery, saying the man lived in a gray trailer on Tony Road and had used a gray-colored firearm. Lloyd suffered at least three gunshot wounds and was transported to the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock, where he later died.

Detectives canvassing the area say witnesses reported Lowery admitted to shooting after an argument; law-enforcement accounts indicate Lowery told investigators he left and then returned with a firearm before shots were fired. Deputies arrested 18-year-old Makel Lowery about 9:20 p.m. that day on suspicion of murdering Lloyd; booking records listed a capital-murder charge. Prosecutors later disputed a self-defense claim made by Lowery’s attorney at a bond hearing, and a judge set bond at $150,000.

Did anyone in the Sweet Home area hear or see anything that afternoon that could help investigators or Lloyd’s family?
