In the summer of 2011 a confrontation in Norfolk, Virginia, ended the life of 30-year-old Richard Benjamin Harris. On June 16, 2011, Harris sustained fatal gunshot wounds to his chest and abdomen during an encounter with another man, Wesley Darren Walker. A witness and Harris’s girlfriend at the time, Mikayla Bunch, testified that Walker brought a firearm to the meeting and shot Harris at close range.

Walker was arrested and indicted by a grand jury on August 17, 2011, on charges of First Degree Murder, Use of a Firearm in the Commission of a Felony, and Possession of a Firearm by a Nonviolent Convicted Felon. At the jury trial that began in October 2012, Walker testified he had disarmed Harris and that the gun accidentally discharged during a struggle. On October 26, 2012, the jury acquitted him of First Degree Murder and Use of a Firearm in the Commission of a Felony.

Does anyone have information about Harris’s last known movements or witnessed details from that June 16 meeting?
