On the afternoon of Tuesday, October 31, 2023, 23-year-old Jadakuis Tysean Mitchell of Martinsville was shot on Tenth Street in Fieldale, Virginia. Emergency responders arriving after a 4:45 PM call found Mitchell with a gunshot wound to the chest; he was taken to Sovah Health and pronounced dead.

Investigators said the shooting arose from a domestic dispute between Mitchell and another man over a woman. Authorities identified 29-year-old Ka'Darrius Lee Ferrell of Dry Fork as the suspect. Ferrell was located during a traffic stop on Kings Mountain Road in the early hours of the following Thursday, found in the backseat of a red Ford Taurus, and taken into custody without incident. He was held at the Henry County Adult Detention Center without bond.

Charges were filed against Ferrell including second-degree murder and firearm-related counts; a Henry County grand jury later returned indictments adding maliciously shooting into an occupied dwelling. Does anyone have information about Mitchell, the dispute, or the events on Tenth Street that day?
