On the early morning of October 13, 2012, Patrick McWanza Hewett, 49, was found in the parking lot of Colony Square Apartments in Newport News, Virginia, suffering from gunshot wounds. Police responded to calls just after 1:00 a.m.; Hewett was taken to a hospital but died of his injuries. Investigators said the shooting appeared to follow a prior argument rather than being random.

A 20-year-old Newport News resident, Doren Ellis Lee, was arrested and charged with Hewett’s murder. In February 2013 those murder charges were dropped; public statements did not provide detailed reasons for the dismissal.

Did anyone in the Newport News area have information about Hewett’s activities or associates around October 13, 2012?
