Delqukis Demone Ruffin, 34, known as Dude, was shot and killed on the night of September 17, 2017, in front of Shortt’s Grocery Store at Harding and Mistletoe Streets in Petersburg, Virginia. The incident left multiple people injured; police found three adult males with gunshot wounds when they arrived, two with life-threatening injuries. Initial reports suggested a drive-by shooting, but investigators later determined shots were fired from a silver Dodge Charger and that those who were targeted returned fire.

Investigators arrested several people connected to the case. Danzel J’Quan Rives, 20, of North Dinwiddie, who had initially been thought to be a victim, was later identified as one of the alleged shooters and charged with multiple counts including attempted murder and aggravated malicious wounding. Two more Petersburg men, Jamal Devonte Brown and Harkeim Sharar Wells, were also charged with attempted murder, aggravated malicious wounding, and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony after search warrants were executed. Over 100 people held a vigil at the intersection after Ruffin’s death.

Who in the community might have witnessed the shooting or the silver Dodge Charger that night?
