On April 20, 2018, 20-year-old Jalen C. Barnhill was found outside in the 7900 block of Thompson Road in Norfolk, Virginia, suffering from a gunshot wound. He was taken to a local hospital and died of his injuries. Barnhill had played football at Granby High School as a wide receiver and safety.

Norfolk Police identified a suspect and on April 30, 2018 arrested 28-year-old Tyree S. Holt, charging him with second-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony; Holt was held without bond and the charges were certified to a grand jury on August 9, 2018. Prosecutors later dropped the charges against Holt, and police did not publicly release a motive. The investigation remains unresolved and it is not stated whether other suspects were ever identified.

If anyone knew Jalen, saw activity in the Thompson Road area that night, or has information about the shooting, please share what is known.
