First we would like to say we are sorry for the family’s loss😢. We would also like to commend our local Siloam Springs Police Department. We will be offering free installation of security cameras and doorbells and such for all our Siloam family all you have to do is provide the equipment.
Unfortunately this world has gotten crazy , beliefs , gender, race , at the end of the day none of that matters, we are all people with loved ones. We need to all have means to protect ourselves and look out for others. I believe I read somewhere today Arkansas is now #5 in the US for crime rate and that is just crazy , I would have never believed that before . With all the murders and drugs and predators out in the world we need to be able to catch them and stop them. We are in 2025 the technology is here. I am not a rich man by any means and I can only help with what I have the means to help with and that just so happens to be helping family’s get some sense of security
The Siloam Springs Police Department is currently investigating a capital murder that occurred this afternoon in the 300 block of Meadow Court. Our prayers and deepest condolences go out to the family of the victim during this difficult time.
We would like to extend our gratitude to the residents of Meadow Court for their patience and cooperation as the investigation unfolds. We also wish to thank the witnesses who came forward, as their assistance has been invaluable.
I want to commend the outstanding response of all Siloam Springs Police Department officers and investigators who worked this scene. Their professionalism, dedication, and teamwork were exemplary and reflect the highest standards of service to our community.
We can confirm that two arrests have been made in connection with this homicide. The shooter has been arrested and identified as 19-year-old Braylon Farris of Fayetteville, Arkansas. The other suspect is a juvenile and information will not be released at this time. While the investigation remains ongoing, there is no further danger to the community.
Respectfully,
Scott Miller
Chief of Police
Siloam Springs Police Department
