Arrests have been made in a celebration that took a deadly turn over the weekend.

Special agents from the Arkansas State Police (ASP) arrested four individuals on Tuesday in connection with a block party shooting that resulted in the death of one person and injuries to at least nine others on April 13.

“I’m proud of how Arkansas State Police personnel worked with the Wynne Police Department to swiftly apprehend the suspects in this case,” ASP Colonel Mike Hagar said.

The suspects, Quavarius Milon, 23; Tommie Frost, 18; Carl Washington, 21; and Cameron Crawford, 22, all from Cross County, have been taken into custody and are being held at the Cross County Detention Center.

All four suspects are charged with first degree Murder, nine counts of first degree battery, and nine counts of engaging in violent criminal group activity. The incident occurred on Saturday at about 10 p.m. near the corner of Williams Avenue and Martin Luther King Street in Wynne. Two victims were run over by vehicles at the scene.

Varian Campbell, 27, of Wynne was pronounced dead at an area hospital. Victims were male and female, with ages ranging from 24 to 49.

The deceased was transported to the Arkansas State Crime Laboratory, where the manner and cause of death will be determined.
