Late in the summer of 2021 a workplace dispute in Windsor, Virginia, ended with the death of 26-year-old Rakim Breedin. The fatal shooting occurred on September 23 at the Safco Products warehouse, where Breedin was working as a temporary employee. An initial altercation with a coworker, Preston Kyle Thomas, was followed by Thomas leaving the premises and returning armed; a second confrontation culminated in Thomas shooting Breedin. Emergency services were called but Breedin died en route to the hospital.

Thomas, then 23, fled after the shooting; his vehicle was later found at an apartment complex in Carrollton. Authorities identified him as the suspect and charged him with second-degree murder. The case proceeded to trial, and the jury convicted Thomas of voluntary manslaughter. In October 2023 the court sentenced him to ten years in prison; an appeal asserting a jury-instruction error was later rejected and the conviction affirmed.

Did anyone who worked at Safco Products or who was in Windsor in September 2021 see events leading up to that day or have information about the initial dispute?
