William A. Gwatney (August 26, 1959 – August 13, 2008) was an American politician who served as the State Chair of the Democratic Party of Arkansas.[1] He had previously served as a State Senator for ten years and as the financial chair of Mike Beebe's campaign for Governor of Arkansas in 2006. Gwatney was selected as a superdelegate at the 2008 Democratic National Convention, but was assassinated before the convention.[2]

Death

On August 13, 2008, Gwatney was killed by Timothy Dale Johnson,[3][4] who entered Democratic Party headquarters in Little Rock, Arkansas and shot Gwatney three times.[5] Gwatney was taken to a hospital, but died later that day.[6]

The gunman had said he wanted to speak with Gwatney about volunteering, but sidestepped his assistant when she said he was busy.[7] After the shooting, the gunman fled the scene in his truck and led police on a Шаблон:Convert chase out of Little Rock.[7] Johnson was killed by police after a PIT maneuver forced him off the road into a field near Sheridan.[5][8] No motive was discovered, except Johnson quitting his job at a Target retail store earlier that day.[9][10]

Honors

The University of Arkansas at Little Rock (UALR) Athletic Department posthumously inducted Gwatney into their Hall of Fame during a ceremony prior to the tip-off of the men's basketball game vs. New Orleans on February 26, 2009.
