Danny Shane Bennett, a 44-year-old male of White/Caucasian ethnicity, was discovered gravely wounded in the driveway of his home just north of Maumelle, Arkansas, on the evening of March 15, 2019. A neighbor found him around 7:30 p.m. on Overstreet Road and called for help; he was rushed to a Little Rock hospital, where he died approximately thirty minutes after arrival. An obituary later confirmed his full name, birth date, and age, aligning with reports that placed the fatal shooting on March 15, 2019.
Investigators quickly focused on events leading up to the confrontation at Bennett’s residence. According to the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office, two 25-year-olds—Dustin W. Moore and Cari Louise Williams—went to the property that night, ostensibly in connection with a four-wheeler. Within hours, deputies arrested Moore on suspicion of first-degree murder and later also arrested Williams. Early accounts described a struggle: Moore told investigators he shot Bennett during a fight, while Williams claimed Bennett had stabbed Moore; authorities said Bennett had no weapon.
By March 17, 2019, both Moore and Williams were being held on first-degree murder complaints in Pulaski County, pending formal charges. Local and regional outlets reported the arrests and summarized the initial investigative narrative, while incident logs recorded the fatal shooting in Maumelle on March 15. Subsequent public reporting did not document a final court outcome in the widely circulated articles, leaving the case’s judicial resolution unclear in those sources.
