On New Year’s Day 2015, 23-year-old Jerrod Ramone Reid was fatally shot at a BP gas station on Warwick Boulevard in Newport News, Virginia. He was found with a gunshot wound and taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Witnesses gave police a description of a person of interest and a possible vehicle. An officer soon spotted a matching vehicle and pursued it into Hampton; the chase ended when the vehicle crashed in a neighborhood and two people ran away on foot. Homicide detectives later identified a suspect, and on January 7, 2015 police arrested 28-year-old Rishaud Vannoy Ben Powell at his Newport News home on charges including murder, use of a firearm during a felony, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

What details about that evening or the people involved might others in the area remember that could add clarity to the case?
