On the evening of June 29, 2023, 33-year-old Ali K. Muhammad was preparing to leave his home in the 9600 block of 1st Bay Street in Norfolk, Virginia, for his overnight shift at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital when he was fatally shot. Police were dispatched around 10:35 p.m. and pronounced him dead at the scene.

Investigators focused on 28-year-old Jalen Garces after reports that Garces had parked in a way that blocked Muhammad’s car and that an argument followed as Muhammad tried to leave. A witness saw two people arguing in the parking lot shortly before the gunshot, and Garces allegedly fled in a dark-colored Ford Mustang. Law enforcement used license plate recognition, cellphone data, surveillance footage, and eyewitness statements to identify Garces, who was later arrested and charged with second-degree murder and using a firearm in the commission of a felony.

What information do community members have about that parking area or about the events that night that could help clarify what happened?
