In a statement, Garland County Sheriffs Department spokesman Lt. James Martin said around 10 p.m., deputies were called to Amity Rd. near the intersection of S. Moore Rd. for reports of a bloody and beaten man flagging down traffic. The man was later identified as 40-year-old Shea ONeill. Lt. Martin said around the same time, 23-year old Eston Hogue was suffering from a stab wound to his neck, when he and two others arrived in a vehicle at a Hot Springs hospital. Hogue eventually died of his injuries. The occupants of the vehicle told an off-duty officer that ONeill stabbed Hogue after getting into an argument with him, when all four of them pulled over to smoke marijuana. Lt. Martin said ONeill told investigators a conflicting a story; stating the female driver picked him up earlier and two men hiding in the back seat suddenly repeatedly hit him in the head. ONeill told police he stabbed Hogue to defend himself after one of his attackers took away his gun. After hearing both stories, Prosecuting Attorney Steve Oliver charged ONeill with second-degree murder.
