Anthony Reid Jr., 30, was killed in Portsmouth, Virginia on the night of September 9, 2018. Police and medics responded just after 11 p.m. to a call on Centre Avenue near Elm Avenue and found Reid inside his parked car. He was pronounced dead at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds to the head.

Surveillance footage showed two men approach Reid’s car. One man fired a single shot into Reid’s head from the driver’s side; the shooter then moved to the passenger side and fired three more shots. Both men fled in a vehicle. The footage later identified Shawn Grant and Timothy Woods as the two men involved.

Woods acknowledged being at the driver’s side window and pushing Reid after he had been shot. Grant later said he shot Reid after they had words. Both men were arrested and tried; juries convicted each defendant of first-degree murder. Does anyone have information about Reid’s life in Portsmouth or the area around Centre and Elm avenues that could shed light on what led to this confrontation?
