Alfred E. Copeland II was 29 when he was killed in Pulaski, Virginia, in the winter of 2014. On December 11, what was first reported as a firearms incident was later determined to be a homicide after Copeland suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the head. He was a male resident of Pulaski.

The Pulaski Police Department investigated and identified Corey Wayne Hodge as a suspect. Investigators say a physical altercation occurred that escalated to the fatal shooting. Hodge was arrested and charged with second-degree murder, possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

If anyone knew Alfred or has information about the events in Pulaski on or around December 11, 2014, please come forward.
