Elwood Alan Humphries, 42, was killed in Petersburg, Virginia, in the pre-dawn hours of January 11, 2018. Humphries, a father and grandfather from Williamsburg who worked for River City Recovery, was sitting in the driver’s seat of his tow truck with the engine running and lights on while preparing to repossess a 2012 Audi. He had earbuds in and had just finished a phone call with his employer when a single shot was fired from a nearby house. The bullet passed through the tow truck’s back window and struck Humphries in the head, killing him instantly.

A repossession order was found beside him and the house from which the shot was fired had been vacated in haste; lights and televisions were still on and a dog remained inside. Police traced the residence to 21-year-old Anton B. Robinson and his girlfriend and located them after they fled to an address in Jarratt. Surveillance and a traffic stop led to interviews with both individuals.

Has anyone with knowledge of Humphries’ work as a repo agent or who was in the Westwood Drive area that night come forward with information?
