On the evening of May 1, 2022, Keon A. Clanton, 35, was shot in the parking lot of the Pilot Travel Center on Ruffin Mill Road in Chesterfield County, Virginia. Emergency calls about a shooting came in at about 6:05 p.m.; officers found Clanton with multiple gunshot wounds and he later died at a nearby hospital.

Investigators quickly identified a suspect vehicle leaving the scene. That vehicle was involved in a crash near West Hundred Road and Route 1 shortly afterward. At the crash site, 32-year-old Darnell S. White was taken into custody and later charged with second-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony; he was held without bond at the Chesterfield County Jail. A second suspect fled the crash on foot and remained at large. Authorities described him as a Black male about 6 feet 3 inches, last seen in a white T-shirt and red gym shorts; surveillance from a nearby mobile home community has been used to try to identify him.

If anyone has information about the man who fled or saw activity around the Pilot Travel Center that evening, please share what is known with investigators.
