Lamar Jerome French, 38, of Newport News, Virginia, was shot and killed on September 16, 2019, after picking up a passenger while working as a driver for a transportation network company. The passenger, 21-year-old Elijah Dayron Armstrong of Newport News, was later identified as the suspect. French was found with a gunshot wound in a parking lot at Phoebus High School in Hampton and was transported to a local hospital, where he died.

Armstrong turned himself in to Newport News police the evening of the shootings and was charged with first-degree murder, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and discharge of a firearm within 1000 feet of a school in connection with French’s death. He was also identified as the suspect in an earlier homicide that same day at an Exxon station in Newport News, where Luis Zambrana Jr. was killed. Armstrong was held in the Newport News City Jail and faced upcoming court proceedings.

Does anyone have information about French’s last known movements as a driver or about the incident at Phoebus High School?
