West Memphis police pulled over a white minivan with Ohio license plates near mile marker 275.
The white Plymouth Voyager minivan was carrying 16-year-old Joe Kane and his 45-year-old father, Jerry R. Kane, a man who harbored extreme anti-government views.
A few minutes later, backup in the Criminal Interdiction Unit, arrived on the scene.
Suddenly, one of the two suspects in the van wrestled officer Bill Evans to the ground.
Shots were fired toward both officers from a long rifle and a handgun. Both were killed.
The suspects fled.
The killings sparked a massive manhunt by every law enforcement agency in the area.
At about 1:06 p.m., the van was located in the parking lot of the West Memphis Walmart.
After an exchange of gunfire in which a sheriff and deputy were wounded, police rammed the van and disabled it.
The suspects' bodies were pulled out and thrown onto a grassy median in the parking lot.
The van was registered to House of God's Prayer, 143 Main in New Vienna, Ohio. That same address was associated with a deceased white supremacist named Harold R. Redfeairn.
In 2003 Redfeairn headed a chapter of the Church of Jesus Christ Christian. The church espouses the white-supremacist doctrine of the Aryan Nations.
2 West Memphis officers were killed and Sheriff Dick Busby and Deputy Chief W.A. Wren were wounded.
