Al-Tariq Tynes vanished from Portsmouth, Virginia, on December 10, 2015, at age 26. He worked at a shipyard and was attending college and was a young father. Family members searched for him through the winter before his body was found in a ditch in neighboring Chesapeake in early January 2016. He had been murdered two days after his 27th birthday.

Investigators tied the killing to gang violence. Authorities identified members of the Nine Trey Gangsters, a set affiliated with the United Blood Nation, as responsible. Reports say Tynes was not involved in gang activity. Two men later admitted roles in the case: Anthony Foye pleaded guilty to Tynes’s murder and other killings, and Alvaughn Davis pleaded guilty to helping hide Tynes’s body.

Did anyone in the Portsmouth or Chesapeake area know Al-Tariq or have information about his movements in December 2015?
