Jonathan David Goodman, 32, was shot on September 5, 2017, in Fayetteville, North Carolina, and died two days later at Cape Fear Valley Medical Center. Known by the nickname Wish, Goodman was a musician who performed along the East Coast and a father of seven with an eighth child due. On the night of the shooting he and 18-year-old Dareon Cook were found in a car parked at the Smokey Bones restaurant on Skibo Road; Cook was pronounced dead at the scene and Goodman was critically injured before later succumbing to his wounds.

Police determined the motive to be robbery and arrested three suspects: Ferris Brown, 20; Javier Rashad Johnson, 19; and Daivon Tahjai Chambers, 19. Brown and Johnson were reported to be active duty soldiers at Fort Bragg. The three were charged with two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of robbery with a dangerous weapon, and two counts of conspiracy to commit robbery, and were held without bond. Goodman's father, David Goodman, described his son as caring and expressed the family’s grief; the family said life in prison would be justice enough.

Did anyone who knew Jonathan or Dareon see them that night or have information about the robbery?
