Deavon L. Jacobs was 25 when he was found dead in a Motel 6 room on Greshamwood Place in South Richmond on the night of January 8, 2017. Police discovered he had sustained a gunshot wound and he was pronounced dead at the scene. His family had been coping with the unresolved disappearance of his sister Keeshae Jacobs in September 2016; authorities said the two cases were not connected.

A suspect, 39-year-old James D. Henshaw, was arrested the next day and initially charged with murder. Henshaw claimed self-defense, saying an argument about a rental car turned physical and that Jacobs threatened him. A jury later convicted Henshaw of second-degree murder in February 2018 and recommended 15 years, but a judge ordered a new trial after ruling that evidence potentially supportive of a self-defense claim had been withheld from the jury. Henshaw ultimately pleaded no contest to involuntary manslaughter and received a 10-year sentence with five years suspended; with credit for time served he was expected to serve about three and a half more years.

Did anyone in South Richmond see or hear anything the night of January 8, 2017 that could shed light on what happened?
