On August 21, 2018, 31-year-old Joseph Darnell Wooden was found dead in a residence on Ruth Harris Way in Hopewell, Virginia. He and 23-year-old Alexander Allen III were discovered together by Wooden’s mother; both deaths were ruled homicides.

Nearly a year later, on May 22, 2019, police arrested 33-year-old Jamonte C. Brothers and charged him with two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of abduction, and one count of using a firearm in the commission of a felony in connection with the killings.

The community mourned two young lives lost and the case remained one of the city’s most serious violent crimes. Does anyone have information about either victim, their last known movements, or about the events at the Ruth Harris Way residence?
