On the late afternoon of September 4, 2022, 30-year-old Caleb Pittman was found between several buildings in the 300 block of South Saratoga Street in Suffolk, Virginia, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Emergency callers reported gunfire in the area, and Pittman was pronounced dead at the scene. He was known to friends and family by the nicknames Cee and Shorty Big Head.

Suffolk detectives quickly identified a suspect, 29-year-old Preston Davis IV of Suffolk. On September 7, police reported locating a vehicle after a call about a woman being assaulted; the driver refused to stop and led officers on a pursuit. During the chase the female passenger jumped from the moving car, the driver fled on foot after abandoning the vehicle, and was captured. Davis was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and multiple firearm offenses in connection with Pittman’s death, and with abduction, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, use of a firearm in a felony, felony eluding, and other traffic offenses from the September 7 incident. He was being held without bond at the Western Tidewater Regional Jail.

Are there witnesses or local readers who saw activity near South Saratoga Street on September 4 or who have information about the events leading up to Pittman’s death?
