Sean De Dieu Nkurunziza, a 26-year-old immigrant from Tanzania, was shot dead on the evening of February 24, 2019, at the Triangle Mart on Cove Road in Roanoke, Virginia. He was an off-duty employee of the store when a quarrel began that reportedly started after an interaction Nkurunziza had with another man’s girlfriend. The argument escalated into a physical scuffle outside the store.After the scuffle, footage and witness accounts say Nkurunziza went back into the store and returned with a handgun to confront Darreonta Lamar Reynolds. Reynolds fired a single fatal shot and left the scene in a black Lexus.

He was later questioned, indicted on murder charges in March, and tried. The prosecution argued jealousy as the motive; the defense said Reynolds acted in self-defense. Toxicology reports showed Nkurunziza had alcohol and methamphetamine in his system.

After about 90 minutes of deliberation the jury found Reynolds not guilty of murder.What can readers add about Sean’s life or that night that might help close unanswered questions?
