The Ouachita County Sheriff’s Office identified the suspect as 44-year-old Travis Eugene Posey (born 1979) of neighboring New Edinburg, Arkansas. At the time of the shooting, Posey was the owner of a Kingsland landscaping company who operated it since 2010 as well as a local trucking service.

Posey was once arrested by the New York State Police and charged with a single fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon charge near Watertown, New York, on November 14, 2011, after attempting to bring a weapon through the gates of Fort Drum, pleading guilty to a reduced charge of disorderly conduct and was released on a $200 fine. Police confiscated the gun, which was not registered in New York.
