Samuel A. Gee, 53, was shot and killed in the early hours of Sunday, July 23, 2017, on the 2700 block of South Crater Road in Petersburg, Virginia. Police found him around 2 a.m. suffering from multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene. The shooting was counted as Petersburg’s seventh homicide of 2017.

Investigators canvassed the roadway, collected tips and witness accounts, and quickly focused their search on one person. The next day police publicly identified 28-year-old Delvon Lorenzo Brown as the man they wanted in connection with Gee’s killing, describing him as armed and dangerous. Police later confirmed Brown had been captured, shifting the case from a public manhunt to the process of charging and prosecution.

Gee, known as Bro, was described by family and friends as rooted in Petersburg with work ties that included Fort Lee and jobs in the surrounding area. Does anyone have information about Gee’s final hours or what happened on South Crater Road that night?
