On October 12, 2016, 20-year-old Jakwon Barnes was found unresponsive in the front yard of a home on Peterborough Drive in Hampton, Virginia. He had sustained a single, fatal gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police describe the incident as a home invasion in which two armed intruders forced their way into the residence and demanded money. A struggle inside the house ended when Barnes was shot. Investigators arrested 24-year-old Angel Rivas of Providence Forge, who had also been shot and treated for non-life-threatening injuries. Rivas was booked on multiple charges including Burglary While Armed, Attempted Robbery, Abduction, Attempted Maiming, five counts of Use of a Firearm in Commission of a Felony, Shooting into an Occupied Dwelling, Wearing a Mask in Public, and Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon.

Jakwon Barnes is remembered by family as respectful and cherished. Does anyone have information about the home invasion or the other person involved?
