On the evening of July 30, 2017, 29-year-old Patricia Morgan Joseph was shot and killed at her home in the Chesapeake Village Mobile Home Park in Newport News, Virginia. She had been at home with her two young sons, her new boyfriend, Jonathan Yeaman, and her father, Jessie Abraham Barnes, when a knock came at the door. After she answered, the shooter opened fire. Patricia was pronounced dead at the scene.

Her father, Jessie Abraham Barnes, was also shot as he tried to find cover and later died at a local hospital. The shooter was identified as Amos Jacob Arroyo, Patricia’s ex-boyfriend and the father of her two children. The attack unfolded in front of Patricia’s sons, ages six and one. Jonathan Yeaman survived by hiding in a closet and later testified about the night.

Arroyo fled and was eventually apprehended in Texas. His trial included testimony from family members and eyewitnesses, and he was found guilty on two counts of first-degree murder. Does anyone have information about Patricia, her family, or that neighborhood on July 30, 2017?
