On the night of December 7, 2022, a ShotSpotter activation brought officers to the 2100 block of Oak Avenue in Newport News, Virginia. During the search of the area they found 32-year-old James Curtis Jones outside a home on Hampton Drive suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He received medical attention at the scene but died of his injuries.

Known as Jay, Jones was described as full of energy and was a father to James Curtis Jones, Jr. and Isabella Jones. The case remained open as detectives worked to reconstruct the events of that night and identify who was responsible.

What details about that evening or the neighborhood might help explain who fired the shots or why Jones was targeted?
