JaSon Randolph was 20 when he was shot and killed on April 11, 2023, in a Portsmouth, Virginia, shopping-center parking lot on Turnpike Road near a Dunkin’ Donuts. The shooting happened just before 5 p.m. After being seen running across Turnpike Road from a nearby neighborhood, Randolph entered a vape store, exited a few minutes later, and then walked toward the Dunkin’ Donuts. A car approached and an occupant fired multiple shots, killing him at the scene.

The Portsmouth Police Department investigated the homicide and arrested two men, D’utario Harris, 21, and Dwan Weston, 22, on charges that included first-degree murder, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and destruction of property. In November 2024 a jury found D’utario Harris guilty of second-degree murder; his sentencing was scheduled for January 30, 2025.

If anyone was in the Turnpike Road shopping center that afternoon or has information about the shooting, please come forward with what was seen or heard.
