In the early hours of a cold January morning in 2013, a delivery driver found two brothers shot dead inside a Rally’s on Lynnhaven Parkway in Virginia Beach. Alphonso Cardell White, 27, a shift manager, was in the manager’s office with a single gunshot wound to the head. His younger brother, 19-year-old Michael A. Johnson, was found in a pool of blood by the doorway. Alphonso was engaged and had a newborn son.

Investigation focused on coworkers who had been on the closing shift with Alphonso. Two coworkers, 22-year-old Deandre Dunnaway and 19-year-old Cheari Asia-Na Edwards, were arrested and charged in connection with the killings and a robbery of less than $1,100. The victims’ fiancée said the suspects had socialized with the family and had even spent the night at the brothers’ home.

Both defendants later pleaded guilty. Dunnaway admitted planning the robbery and said he knew he would have to kill witnesses; he received three life terms without parole plus 23 years. Edwards received a 47-year sentence. Does anyone have information about the brothers’ lives or remembers them from the Rally’s community?
