Edward Laverne Jenkins, 72, was shot and killed in Roanoke, Virginia, on November 1, 2023. The death was investigated as a homicide and Roanoke police executed search warrants early in the inquiry; material from those searches suggested money may have been a factor in the killing.

Family and friends held a funeral for Jenkins, but investigators have not publicly identified suspects or announced any arrests. Well over a year after the shooting the case remained unresolved and few additional details about the circumstances of the shooting or the possible suspect or suspects have been released.

If anyone in Roanoke remembers Edward or has information about his death or the role money may have played, please share what is known with investigators.
