On the evening of Friday, February 5, 2021, a dispute at El Norteno Restaurant on East Church Street in Martinsville, Virginia, escalated into gunfire inside the bar area. Twenty-three-year-old Keilo Anton Martin and 33-year-old Shavon Lamont Reid, both of Martinsville, were fatally shot before police arrived. The violence continued into the restaurant parking lot where a third person was pursued and fired upon by two armed men.

A Martinsville patrol officer heard the shooting, engaged the two men and struck one; the pair then returned to the restaurant, which still held about a dozen patrons and 20 employees. Two other men were hospitalized with gunshot wounds. The Virginia State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation led the probe and identified two suspects: Jamal Emun Jenkins, 24, of Collinsville, charged with first-degree murder and related firearms offenses; and Rosario Nasiar Eggleston, 20, of Martinsville, charged with aggravated malicious wounding, conspiracy, and related firearms counts.

If anyone was at El Norteno that night or has information about the dispute that sparked the shooting, please share what is known.
