Willie Earl Cromartie, 29, was found dead in Hopewell, Virginia on January 9, 2018. Known to family as Man and to friends as Stunna, he was described as outgoing and a devoted father to his son Jaylan.

Investigators moved quickly. Within 36 hours authorities identified a suspect and, based on community tips, the Hopewell Police Department and the U.S. Marshal’s Fugitive Task Force arrested 26-year-old Randolph Len Taylor Jr. in Colonial Heights. Taylor, a Petersburg resident, was charged with first-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony and was being held without bond at Riverside Regional Jail pending arraignment.

Few other details about the circumstances of the killing have been shared publicly. Does anyone have information about Willie, his movements that week, or witnesses who saw anything that night?
