On the night of July 18, 2025, 20-year-old Jamele Newby-Gibson was found in the road in the 5500 block of New Colony Drive in Virginia Beach with an apparent gunshot wound. Emergency responders attempted life-saving measures and he was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced deceased.

Virginia Beach Police Homicide Unit investigators identified 19-year-old Nashaun Reid of Virginia Beach as a suspect and arrested him within six hours of the shooting. Reid was charged with second-degree murder and the use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. Court records say Reid initially told investigators he shot Newby-Gibson, then later denied that confession during a jailhouse interview. In the later interview he acknowledged seeing Newby-Gibson that night, said he felt threatened when Newby-Gibson leaned into his car and put his hands in his jacket, and claimed he drove off after hearing a sound, denying he pulled the trigger.

Are there witnesses or anyone with information about what happened on New Colony Drive that night who can help fill the gaps in this timeline?
