On the evening of June 27, 1985, a robbery at Bon’s Supermarket in Hampton, Virginia, ended in a double homicide. Store owner Clyde Jenkins, 72, was shot and killed by the robber, identified as 29-year-old Herman Charles Barnes. Mohammad Afifi, a 42-year-old clerk, ran from the back of the store to help Jenkins, confronted Barnes, and was also fatally shot. Barnes fled the scene after the shootings.

An investigation eventually led to Barnes’s arrest and prosecution for the two killings; he was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to death in September 1986. Does anyone have memories of Bon’s Supermarket or knew Mohammad Afifi or Clyde Jenkins and can share more about them or that night?
