Jeremiah Eugene Jones, 33, of Petersburg, Virginia, was reported missing by his family on December 31, 2014. His body was found on February 7, 2015, near Poplar Grove National Cemetery. Authorities determined the cause of death to be multiple gunshot wounds and ruled the case a homicide.

The Dinwiddie County Sheriff’s Office and the Petersburg Bureau of Police investigated and arrested two men, Devin Thomas and Joseph Bryan Phillip. Investigators believed the motive was revenge over a dispute involving street protocol; the killing was not officially classified as gang-related. Devin Thomas entered an Alford plea to second-degree murder and received a 28-year sentence that included firearm and concealment penalties. Joseph Bryan Phillip was charged with first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, use of a firearm in the commission of a murder, and related concealment and illegal disposal counts.

Jeremiah’s family described him as a father, son, and brother. Does anyone have information about Jeremiah’s last known movements or witnessed events near Poplar Grove National Cemetery?
