In Loving Memory of Keundrae McLemore 🕊️

With heavy hearts, family members, friends, and the community of Pine Bluff, Arkansas are mourning the tragic loss of Keundrae McLemore, whose life was taken far too soon at the age of 26. His passing has left a deep void in the hearts of those who knew and loved him, and the circumstances surrounding his death have shaken the community.

According to the Pine Bluff Police Department, officers responded to reports of gunshots in the area of Port Road and Kansas Street on the evening of March 10, 2026, at approximately 8:45 p.m. When officers arrived at the scene, they discovered a male lying in the roadway near the northwest corner of the intersection. He was unresponsive and had suffered apparent gunshot wounds.

Emergency responders quickly assessed the situation, but despite the urgency of the response, the victim was tragically pronounced deceased at the scene by a representative from the Jefferson County Coroner’s Office. Authorities later confirmed the victim as 26-year-old Keundrae McLemore after his family had been notified of the heartbreaking news.

During the incident, another male was located near the intersection of Port Road and Byrd Street suffering from minor gunshot wounds. He was transported to Jefferson Regional Medical Center for treatment, and thankfully his injuries were reported to be non-life-threatening.

Investigators say the case remains in its early stages, and authorities have not yet released information regarding potential suspects. Keundrae’s body will be examined by the Arkansas State Crime Laboratory as part of the investigation to determine the official cause and manner of death.

While investigators continue their work to uncover the truth, those who knew Keundrae are left grieving a life taken far too soon.

Losing someone so suddenly and violently leaves behind an indescribable pain. Families are left searching for answers, friends struggle to process the loss, and a community is reminded once again of the devastating impact that violence can have.
