STUTTGART Some would say the Nonviolence Youth Summit held by the Arkansas Martin Luther King, Jr. Commission was right on time as the community received the devastating news that one of its own students, Johnny Howard, 18, was identified as deceased and the latest victim of violence in Stuttgart.
The Arkansas County sheriff s office confirmed Thursday evening that the body discovered inside a burned vehicle on Hartz Seed Road outside of Stuttgart on May 4 was Johnny Howard, a junior football player at Stuttgart High School.
