On the morning of December 31, 2022, 34-year-old William A. Jones was found near the intersection of Randolph Street and Atlanta Avenue in the Prentis Park neighborhood of Portsmouth, Virginia, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital but died of his injuries. Jones, a Black man originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was a former U.S. Navy member and worked as a self-employed massage therapist. He is survived by his wife and three children.

Within days, investigators identified a suspect. On January 4, 2023, the Portsmouth Police Department arrested 39-year-old Carlton J. Dillard and charged him with first-degree murder, shooting in the commission of a felony, use of a firearm, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Does anyone in the Portsmouth area have information about Jones, his movements that morning, or the neighborhood intersection where he was found?
