Stuart D. Jeffries, 33, of Richmond, Virginia, was fatally shot during a child custody exchange in the parking lot of the Appomattox Police Station on West Hundred Road in Chesterfield County on the evening of Sunday, January 16, 2022. The exchange was for Jeffries to return his eight-year-old daughter to her mother after a weekend visit. An on-duty officer in the station lot heard a gunshot around 6:28 p.m. and immediately responded.

An altercation between Jeffries and the mother’s new boyfriend, identified as 44-year-old Corey D. Goodson Sr., escalated and Goodson allegedly shot Jeffries. Jeffries was pronounced dead at the scene; his daughter and her mother were not physically harmed. Goodson was located at the scene, taken into custody without incident, and charged with second-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. He is being held at the Chesterfield County Jail without bond and the investigation is ongoing.

Jeffries’ family describes him as a hardworking, family-oriented man and a devoted father. If anyone witnessed the exchange or has information that could help the investigation, please come forward.
