On the evening of March 11, 2016, 23-year-old Aaron L. Hunter, a Black/African American man, was shot and killed during a home invasion at the Wilson Pines Apartments on East Washington Street in Suffolk, Virginia. Two men forced their way into the apartment intending to rob the occupants; a confrontation followed, Hunter was shot and pronounced dead at the scene, another man was assaulted, and a third was shot at but not hit.

Suffolk police identified and arrested two suspects: Mandocous Jayni Rivers, 19 at the time, and Markelyn Lamontre Jones, then 17. Both were charged with first-degree murder, robbery, and firearms offenses, and Jones’s case was transferred from juvenile court to adult court. Jury proceedings and plea activity followed, resulting in convictions and lengthy sentences for both men in 2017–2018.

Are there anyone who knew Aaron or who has additional information about that night who can help shed light on what happened?
