Charlie Moses Woodbury, 27, was shot outside Jack’s Restaurant on East Pembroke Avenue in Hampton in the early hours of May 5, 2013. Witnesses reported a verbal altercation involving Woodbury and several people; while the argument was ongoing another man approached, drew a firearm, and shot Woodbury in the upper torso. Emergency responders found him about 1:53 a.m.; he was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead at 2:23 a.m.

Investigators identified Patrick Julius Roberts as a suspect and served indictments on August 7, 2013, including murder, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. At trial in September 2014 Roberts was convicted of voluntary manslaughter, the firearm charge, and possession by a felon. His defense said he acted in self-defense and that Woodbury had swung a knife; Woodbury’s family disputed that depiction. In March 2015 Roberts received a 17-year prison sentence.

Did anyone who was in the area that night see what set off the argument outside Jack’s Restaurant?
