On the evening of December 5, 2020, 18-year-old Torico Reaves Jr. of Virginia Beach was shot in the parking lot of a Wawa in the 2900 block of Godwin Boulevard in Suffolk, Virginia. Shots were reported at about 6 p.m.; Reaves arrived at a local hospital with life-threatening gunshot wounds and was later pronounced deceased.

The Suffolk Police Department investigated and on December 11, 2020, arrested a 17-year-old male suspect. He was initially not named because of his age and was charged with second-degree murder and using a firearm in the commission of a felony. A grand jury later returned a direct indictment and the suspect was identified as Marques Jauron Boneparte; the decision was made to try him as an adult and he faced multiple charges, including second-degree murder, felony homicide, shooting in the commission of a felony, distribution of marijuana, and several firearm-related violations. Boneparte was held in the Chesapeake Detention Center following arrest.
