(AP) – An Arkansas teen has been arrested in connection with
the fatal shooting of a 42-year-old man in Pope County.
The sheriff’s office says 19-year-old Nathaniel Z. Symonds of Dover was
arrested following Friday’s fatal shooting of Ronald Dean Esserman Jr., also of
Dover. Investigators say they believe the Symonds and the victim were
acquaintances.
Authorities say Symonds faces a first-degree murder charge in connection with
Esserman’s death. Symonds is scheduled to appear before a judge on Monday
morning.
The sheriff’s office says Symonds is being held in the Pope County Detention
