Melvin Wilson Jr., 19, was working at a Chesapeake, Virginia gas station when he was fatally shot in the head in the early morning hours of December 1, 1976. A customer discovered his body around 8 a.m.; investigators determined a small amount of cash, about $50 to $75, was missing from the register, and police described the incident as an apparent robbery.

A customer reported seeing Wilson about half an hour before his body was found, standing outside the station changing a tire for someone, which provided a narrow window of time for the crime and a potential lead. Despite the initial investigation and that witness account, no arrests were ever made, and no suspects were publicly identified or charged.

The homicide remains unsolved. Does anyone remember details from that morning or know who Wilson was changing a tire for?
