On the morning of December 22, 2019, 32-year-old Montrail Stringfield was shot and killed inside his Wakefield, Virginia, home. The shooting occurred at about 3:30 a.m.; Stringfield was pronounced dead at the scene. He was a Black male.

Investigators say two men forced entry into the residence. Both were described as Black males with their faces covered; one reportedly wore a red puffy vest and the other wore dark clothing. A third person drove the trio away in a medium to dark-colored sedan. The Sussex County Sheriff’s Office is handling the investigation.

Despite multiple community tips, authorities report only one credible lead and have made no arrests; no suspects have been publicly identified. Does anyone who lived in Wakefield at the time or who has information about a red puffy vest or a medium to dark-colored sedan on that night contact the Sheriff’s Office with tips?
