Teralyn Ashley Cantrell, 30, a Black woman from Little Rock, was shot on March 17, 2021, and died from her injuries that day. Local coverage and memorial records identify her by name and age and place the shooting in Little Rock, Arkansas. An obituary confirms her date of death and that loved ones later held graveside services out of state.
Through brief early reports, the incident entered the public record as an overnight shooting in which a woman was critically wounded and then
pronounced dead at a hospital. A memorial listing created afterward recorded the case as a homicide by gunfire and linked to local news reports about the killing.
Family and friends described the killing as domestic violence in an online fundraiser organized in the immediate aftermath, which also noted that she left young children behind. That description has been repeated on later community case pages that compile publicly available information about unsolved or under-reported homicides.
Police and court records available online do not show that authorities publicly named a suspect or announced an arrest in her case. Community summaries that track case progress similarly indicate no publicly reported arrest information tied to the killing.
