I never knew my mom's dad, hell she never knew him either. But there's always been whispers in the family that he was "connected" and rumblings of an Arkansas mafia. I do know that the man was in a halfway house living with other men when an argument ensued over the television. My "grandfather" wanted a man to get up and change the channel and the man refused, so gramps shot and killed him. I have the newspaper clipping somewhere around here. But my mom told me stories of how crooked a certain coroner was there in Little Rock & about a man's death that was ruled a shooting suicide. By shotgun. Which was propped up in the corner of the room as the man lay dead on the bed.
