On the evening of May 17, 2025, 32-year-old Dreshaun Lamarr Pruden, known as Dre and Boomane, was fatally shot inside a Family Fare convenience store at a BP on J. Clyde Morris Boulevard in Newport News, Virginia. Police found Pruden on the floor with multiple gunshot wounds, including one to the head, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Pruden was a Heritage High School graduate who became an electrician, was attending barber school, and worked one full-time and three part-time jobs. He is remembered as a devoted father who enjoyed time with his children, family, and friends. Surveillance video from the store showed two men watching Pruden as he entered; they briefly left, returned to their vehicle, then came back inside. One man lunged at Pruden, both drew firearms as he backed away, and one of the assailants fired before both fled. A license plate reader later identified their vehicle, and tips from the community aided a swift investigation.

Did anyone who knew Dreshaun, his routines, or his work hear or see anything that night that could help the investigation?
