Bryant Maurice Wilder Jr was 16 and a rising junior at Warwick High School when he was shot dead in Newport News, Virginia, in the predawn hours of August 14, 2014. Known locally for his love of music, fishing, and skateboarding, his body was found near the basketball courts in the Saunders Elementary School parking lot after gunfire was reported around 1:30 a.m.

Also killed at the scene was 17-year-old John A. Nieves Jr., another Warwick student; a third teenager was wounded but survived and called 911. Police arrested 17-year-old David James Hosley later that same day. Court filings and witness accounts say a 12-gauge shotgun was used; Hosley was charged with two counts of second-degree murder and use of a firearm and was indicted by a grand jury in February 2015. The motive has not been disclosed.

Does anyone who knew Bryant or John have details about the night or about the teens’ activities that could help clarify what happened?
