On the night of July 3, 2023, 28-year-old Jalaun Latavis Colbert was standing outside his home on Hollister Avenue in Norfolk, Virginia, smoking a cigarette when a car approached and multiple shots were fired. Colbert was struck several times. His mother and the family dog were inside the house and were unharmed. He was transported to a local hospital and died of his injuries on July 9, 2023.

Investigators traced earlier events to a dispute at a 7-Eleven in Virginia Beach a few hours before the shooting, where an argument occurred between Colbert and two men identified as Leon Malek Williams and Bryston Alexander Davis. Surveillance and a neighbor’s doorbell camera helped detectives reconstruct the sequence that ended at Colbert’s home. Williams and Davis were arrested and charged with second-degree murder and use of a firearm in the weeks following the shooting.

Are there readers who saw anything that night on Hollister Avenue or who have information about the dispute that began at the 7-Eleven?
