On the evening of October 28, 2019, 36-year-old Earl Bryant Boone Jr. was shot and killed in the parking lot of Sentara Obici Hospital in Suffolk, Virginia. Surveillance footage shows Boone Jr. walking toward the hospital at about 6:30 p.m. when he was confronted by his father, Earl Bryant Boone Sr. The men spoke briefly, the elder Boone retrieved a firearm from his truck, returned to his son as he walked away, and opened fire. Boone Jr. was struck multiple times and died shortly after being brought into the hospital despite efforts by Suffolk Fire-Rescue personnel who were on site. Several vehicles in the lot were also damaged by gunfire and the hospital was placed on lockdown.

Family tensions are described as the motive. Boone Sr. told police he believed his son to be violent, had previously fired him from a job for fighting, and had feared for his safety after a recent burglary at his home; a neighbor said the two argued about money. Boone Sr. was arrested and charged in connection with the shooting and held without bond.

Does anyone have information about the relationship between the two men or witnessed the incident in the hospital parking lot?
