On May 14, 2011, 21-year-old Jalisa Knight was found fatally shot inside her white Acura in the 1100 block of Mt. Vernon Avenue in Portsmouth’s London Oaks neighborhood. Family and friends remembered her for her good heart and held a candlelight vigil in Virginia Beach to mourn her loss.

Investigators identified two suspects. Michael Ecklin, 26 at the time, was indicted by a grand jury in August 2012 on charges of murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony; he was already in custody on unrelated charges when indicted and also faced two counts of attempted robbery from earlier incidents. A second suspect, 28-year-old Jerome Alexander Griffin Sr., was indicted by a grand jury in February 2013 on a murder charge; he too was in custody on unrelated charges at that time.

Later, Griffin entered an Alford plea of guilty to second-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, with the Commonwealth’s Attorney recommending a maximum sentence of fifteen years in prison as part of a plea agreement. Does anyone have additional information about Jalisa or the case that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
