On a Saturday in Camden, Arkansas, the Fairview Tobacco Warehouse became the scene of a fatal shooting that claimed the life of 37-year-old Bobby Kuhn of Gurdon. On May 9, 2026, police were called to the business located at 1105 Fairview Road, where they discovered Kuhn unresponsive and suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Emergency responders transported him to the Ouachita County Medical Center, and he was subsequently airlifted to the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little
Rock. Despite the medical efforts, Bobby Kuhn succumbed to his injuries.
The investigation into the shooting led Camden police to a suspect, Deandrea Pace, a 23-year-old man. Pace was located at a residence in Camden and was taken into custody without incident. He is currently being held at the Ouachita County Detention Center. The charges against Pace include first-degree murder, aggravated assault, a terroristic act, and fleeing, along with other misdemeanor charges. A judge has set his bond for the murder charge at $1 million. The investigation into the circumstances surrounding the shooting is ongoing, and authorities have urged anyone with information to contact the Camden Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division.
Bobby Burton Kuhn, born on August 30, 1988, was a father of six children: sons Adyn, Bentley, and Lane, and daughters Gracelyn, Madelyn, and Melayna. His obituary describes him as a man who enjoyed fishing, telling jokes, and, most of all, spending time with his children. The case against Deandrea Pace will proceed through the legal system. As of now, only an arrest has been made and charges have been filed. The subsequent steps will involve court appearances, a potential trial to determine guilt or innocence, and, if convicted, a sentencing phase to decide the punishment. The motive for the shooting has not yet been publicly released by investigators as they continue to piece together the events that led to this tragic loss of life.
