Late on a Tuesday just after midnight on February 28, 2017, 44-year-old Mantonio Bunch was found on Portsmouth Boulevard in Portsmouth, Virginia, with a gunshot wound to his stomach. He was taken to a local hospital but died while receiving treatment. Bunch was a father of three and described by family as a problem solver who put others before himself.

A neighbor reported hearing a commotion that sounded like someone falling down a flight of stairs, but did not hear gunshots. Within days the Portsmouth Police Department arrested 31-year-old Herbert Jones, an acquaintance of Bunch, charging him with first-degree murder. Court records show Jones is a convicted felon with prior convictions for malicious wounding and weapons offenses. The motive for the killing has not been explained.

If anyone knew Mantonio, his routines, or the relationship between him and Herbert Jones, please share what is known.
