On an early Sunday morning in Martinsville, Virginia, two men were killed after a fight that began at a Polk Street party. Orlando Akridge, 30, and 32-year-old Julius Keon Giggetts were found dead at the intersection of Park Street and Elwood Avenue on October 12, 2014, after the dispute spilled into the street and turned into a shooting. A third person suffered injuries described as non-life-threatening and was treated and released from the hospital.

Martinsville police identified 20-year-old Parnell Markese Rucker as a suspect; he surrendered to authorities and was charged with two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of using a firearm in the commission of a felony. Reports note that Rucker and the victims were known to each other.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who recall that Polk Street party or the events on Park Street and Elwood Avenue that morning?
