On the night of September 29, 2016, 43-year-old Jerry Vadal Colyer was working the front desk at the Econo Lodge on Indian Hill Road in Chesterfield, Virginia, when an unknown Black male entered the lobby with a revolver and demanded money. Colyer, a husband and father to a young daughter, complied, but was shot at point-blank range; emergency responders found him deceased from a gunshot wound after a call at about 10:57 PM.

Surveillance captured the suspect, described as a thin Black male wearing a maroon long-sleeved hooded sweatshirt, a red-brimmed ball cap, jeans, and dark-colored shoes, with what appeared to be a white bandage on his right hand. Investigators from the Chesterfield County Police Department, with FBI assistance, say the suspect may have been linked to other robberies in the area. No arrest has been announced and the case remains unsolved; the FBI has offered a reward of up to $30,000.

If anyone was in or near the motel that night or has information about the suspect’s movements or identity, please share what is known with investigators.
