Bobby Jackson Jr., a 30-year-old Black man from Newport News, Virginia, was found dead at the intersection of 32nd Street and Salters Street on January 6, 2012, the victim of multiple gunshot wounds. He left behind his mother, stepfather, a son and another child who was expected soon; family and the community remembered him as a vibrant presence who brought joy to those around him.

Investigators named two suspects in the homicide: Gregory Jones and Marvin Hunt, both 37 at the time. Warrants were issued and, on January 9, 2012, both men voluntarily surrendered to Newport News police. Jones was charged with murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony; Hunt was charged with murder and possession of a firearm by a felon.

Does anyone have information about Bobby’s life, the shooting, or the days leading up to January 6, 2012?
