On the evening of October 4, 2020, 30-year-old Johnathan Tyrone King was on a porch on Hinton Street in Petersburg, Virginia, with a friend, Kevin Williams, when both men were struck by gunfire in a drive-by shooting. They were taken to a local hospital and both succumbed to their injuries on October 5, 2020. Johnathan, known to some as Tyrone, was a father, a Thomas Dale High School graduate, and worked at Curtis Bay Medical Waste in Petersburg. He enjoyed listening to music and spending time with his children and family.

The murders remain unsolved. Investigators identified a vehicle of interest, multiple detectives have worked the case, and authorities say the number of suspects is unknown. Johnathan’s mother, Tasha King, has offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction and has spoken about her heartbreak and frustration; police have asked the public for help but note community fear and distrust as challenges.

If anyone knew Johnathan, was on Hinton Street that night, or has information about the vehicle of interest, please come forward.
