Search for driver in 2023 crash with two fatalities

The Conway Police Department is seeking assistance from the community to find Kevin Black Jr., a 20-year-old man wanted in connection with a fatal accident that occurred nearly a year ago. The crash, which happened on October 15, 2023, resulted in the deaths of two passengers when the vehicle, driven by Black, veered off the road near the Covington Professional Center in Conway, Arkansas. Unfortunately, the driver's identity was initially challenging to determine due to the severity of the incident and Black's disorientation. After a lengthy investigation that involved processing toxicology reports and forensic evidence, formal charges were delayed but ultimately revealed that Black was intoxicated at the time of the crash. Despite being asked to surrender himself, Black has not done so yet, and officials are urging him to fulfill his promise. Described as a biracial male, about 6 feet tall and 135 pounds, Black remains at large, though police suspect he is still in the area. Authorities are asking the public to share any information that may aid in his arrest. Police want to emphasize the importance of bringing closure to the families of the victims and caution that harboring Black could have legal repercussions. Anyone with details on Kevin Black Jr.'s location should contact the Conway Police Department at 501-450-6120.
