Christopher Patrick Ross was 17 and a student and football player at Ocean Lakes High School when he was shot dead in the Red Mill neighborhood of Virginia Beach on December 11, 2018. The shooting occurred after a marijuana transaction inside a home on Elson Green Avenue. Court documents say Christopher grabbed a bag of marijuana during the deal and ran; he ran down stairs but the front door was locked. Jacob Alexander Meadows, then 19, pursued him, opened fire and struck Christopher multiple times. Police found Christopher’s body near a large quantity of marijuana.

Meadows was arrested the day after the shooting at a camper in the Pungo area. He at first denied involvement, later admitted to the drug deal and the shooting and said it was self-defense; his lawyer said Christopher had a gun. Prosecutors said Meadows chased Christopher and shot him as he tried to leave and that the locked front door reduced any immediate threat. Three juveniles were also arrested; two faced robbery and conspiracy counts and a third was charged with distributing marijuana. The other juvenile dealer later pleaded guilty to robbery, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony and conspiracy.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who remember activity at the Elson Green Avenue house on December 11, 2018?
