Tyborr’reonx “Ty” Bufford was the kind of young man who seemed capable of anything he set his mind to. Those who knew him describe him as a natural leader, an encourager, and someone whose talents reached far beyond what most people could accomplish at such a young age.

Ty was both athletic and musically gifted. He loved basketball and was an accomplished violin player, but those who loved him know that these were only a few of the many things that made him special. He was intelligent, versatile, determined, and full of promise. Whether on the court, with his music, or among friends and family, Ty had a way of making an impact on the people around him.

His family said Ty was a very versatile young man, and the list of things he could do is nearly endless. More importantly, he was a beloved son, brother, and friend whose life touched countless others.

Ty’s future was filled with possibilities. The loss of that future is still felt today by everyone who knew and loved him. He deserves to be remembered not only for the life that was taken from him, but for the remarkable young man he was.

Investigators know someone has the answers to what happened on February 19, 2022 at an apartment complex in Conway, Arkansas. Someone who has hesitated all this time to come forward. If you didn’t feel safe then, you can feel safe now.

Ty deserved to live a beautiful life.
His family deserves peace, and justice.

Do you remember Ty Bufford?
Today would have been Ty’s 22nd birthday.

Instead of celebrating with family and friends, Tyborr’Reonx “Ty” Bufford’s loved ones continue to live with unanswered questions.

In the early morning hours of February 19, 2022, just after 4 a.m. a neighbor was out walking his dog when he came upon a young man laying in the grass.

A 911 call was made soon after and First Responders were immediately dispatched to the scene.

17-year-old Ty was found deceased outside his apartment complex near Rich Smith Lane in Conway, Arkansas.

Someone knows what happened that morning.

As we remember Ty today, we are asking anyone with information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, to come forward. Sometimes a single detail can make all the difference.

Eight years ago, just after 1:00 a.m. on May 24, 2018, someone made the decision to shoot from a vehicle, at the occupant of a parked SUV in front of a home in Conway, Arkansas.

Jody Loring Jr., only 18 years old, had just gotten into the driver's seat. He had nowhere to go and no way to escape. His girlfriend and their 3-month-old child were only feet away inside the home.

The incident cost Jody his life. It cost all those who loved him a part of theirs as well.

According to investigators, Jody had no known enemies, and there has never been any indication he did anything to contribute to what happened to him.

Yet someone made the decision to take a life.
And someone else made the decision to stay silent.

Today, you have the opportunity to make a different decision.

Investigators have narrowed their focus to a small group of individuals. They also know there are people who were not directly involved in the incident who still possess critical information about what happened.

If fear, loyalty, or uncertainty kept you from speaking then, know that there are ways to share information safely and confidentially.

The pursuit of truth and justice for Jody will never stop. Help us bring answers to all those who loved him.

Someone knows what happened.

Please SHARE. We remember Jody and ask our community to honor his memory as well. Sharing might just help us reach the persons who have been waiting for the right moment to come forward.

On May 24, 2018, just after 1:00 a.m., 18-year-old Jody Loring Jr. stepped out of his girlfriend’s home and walked a few steps to his SUV. Within moments of getting inside, another vehicle pulled up and gunfire erupted.

There was no time to react. There was nowhere to go.

The occupants of that vehicle took Jody’s life. They took away a future that was meant to be his. They took away a life that will forever be remembered and forever be missed.

Just days earlier, Jody had graduated from high school. He and his high-school sweetheart were the proud new parents of a three-month-old little boy. Jody was glowing in fatherhood and was so excited about the plans he had for his son and the future ahead of them.

Jody was the kind of young man people naturally gravitated toward. He was deeply loved by his family, respected by teachers, cared about by friends, and known throughout the community for the person he was. His loss sent shockwaves through the lives of everyone who knew him.

For the people who loved Jody, time has not lessened the grief or the questions left behind that night. A son lost his father. Parents lost their child. His sweetheart lost her love and the laughter they shared. Friends lost someone they believed would always be there.

Jody mattered. His life mattered. And his story deserves to continue being told.

His family has spent nearly eight years carrying the weight of questions we know someone has the answers to.

We know there are people who know exactly what happened that night. We know there are people who have remained silent since May 24, 2018.

For Jody. For his son. For the people who still carry this loss every single day — we are asking you to come forward.

On May 24, 2018, the life of an incredible young man was taken far too soon.

Jody Loring Jr. had just turned 18 years old. He had recently graduated from high school and had just become a new father. His future was only beginning.

His life was taken senselessly, and the people who loved him have carried that loss every day since.

Investigators believe there are multiple people who have held onto information about this case since 2018.

We are asking our community to help us reach them by keeping this case visible by sharing this post.

It’s time to end the silence. It’s time to do the right thing. It’s time for justice for Jody.

On May 24, 2018, 18-year-old Jody Loring Jr. was inside a home with his girlfriend and their newborn baby. Jody had graduated from high school just days before. He had great aspirations for his future, love for his family, and dreams about the plans with his child.

Just after 1:00 AM, Jody stepped outside the home and walked over to his SUV. He entered the vehicle and within a moment, a vehicle drove up near the house. Shots rang out.

As soon as 911 calls began coming in, first responders were immediately dispatched. Despite all attempts to save Jody’s life, he was pronounced deceased at the scene.

His life was senselessly taken. His future and the future of his family, were altered forever.

There are people who know more about what happened to Jody the night of May 24,2018.

Some may have stayed silent out of fear.
Some may have convinced themselves it was safer not to speak.
Others may have believed someone else would eventually come forward.

WHAT DO YOU REMEMBER?

Time passing does not negate responsibility. It’s time to come forward.

Investigators continue seeking information from anyone who remembers vehicles, conversations, unusual behavior, or details connected to the shooting that took Jody’s life.

Even information that once felt too small or too difficult to share could matter now.

Fear, pressure, or loyalty should never outweigh the value of a human life or the pursuit of justice.

If you know something, now is the time to come forward.

It is time for justice for Jody. It’s time for answers and comfort for his family.

On May 24, 2018, just after 1:00 a.m., 18-year-old Jody Loring Jr. stepped outside a home on Donaghey Avenue in Conway, Arkansas.

He made it to his SUV, but never made it back inside.

Officers arrived after multiple 911 callers reported hearing gunshots. They found Jody in the driver’s seat of his SUV parked outside the home. Witnesses reported hearing shots fired, and then a vehicle leaving the area.

Jody was a new father. He was only 18 years old.
His life was taken before he had the chance to become everything he was meant to be.

Someone still carries the burden of truth.

Conway Police Department remains committed to seeking justice in Jody’s case and to help bring a sense of closure to his family and all those who loved him.

Jody deserves justice.

Time does not erase responsibility.

Kajala Lawson was only 25-years-old when she was shot and killed as she sat in the driver’s seat of her Jeep Compass. It was November 2022 in the middle of the night. She had just pulled up into the yard of her friend’s house on Reedy Rd. The person who targeted her did so under the cover of darkness.

She is painfully missed by all those who loved her.
Kajala deserves Justice. Her family deserves answers, and peace.

Someone knows more than what they’ve said, but their silence will not last forever.

Justice does not forget.
And neither do we.

We ask our community to remember with us, to honor her life and her beautiful memory.
For those who have information, it’s time to come forward.

The Conway Police Department is committed to seeking justice on behalf of those who can no longer speak for themselves. We appreciate the feedback we have received and we will provide updates on Kajala’s case as we are able.

This is not over.

Kajala Lawson was only 25-years old – full of life and laughter, and so deeply loved, when her life was violently and intentionally taken on November 21, 2022, by a person who remains unaccountable – free to continue living their life, while her family and those who love her still grieve.

Someone holds the key to the questions still unanswered.

There are two groups of people who may hold a missing piece. Is one of them YOU?

The first group is the people who were in the area of College Ave. and Reedy Rd. that night. Sometime between 1:00 AM and 3:00 AM, someone heard something – or someone saw something. A gunshot. A car. Voices. Movement. A sound that may have woken you – and made you pause before going back to sleep. Some thought it may have been a dream. Some told themselves it was nothing. But something felt off. Someone may have been driving by or maybe looked out a window and saw something. A vehicle taking off. A shadow of a person on foot. A lone bicycle heading away in the dark of night. Headlights. Maybe it was you – but you never said anything because you didn’t think it was important. It is.

Whatever it was – it was something.

The second group is the people who knew Kajala – her family, friends, coworkers, classmates, neighbors, and those connected to the people closest to her life.
She worked, she had routines, she had people around her every day.
After her death, people noticed changes.
Conversations happened.
Silence settled where answers should have been.
Someone seemed off. Someone had tension with her. Someone became unusually quiet. Someone seemed nervous, angry or fearful. Someone’s behavior changed. Someone wanted others to stay quiet.
And someone else noticed.

Was it YOU?

Sometimes the truth is held in the smallest detail.
If you know something – whether you were nearby that dark night or part of her circle – we need you to come forward. She needs you to come forward.
You may remain anonymous or speak with us confidentially.

It’s time for justice for Kajala. It’s time for peace for her family.
