Do you know who killed Joseph \Jo-Jo\ Rodgers in 2014? Joseph Rodgers, a 46-year-old man from Portsmouth, Virginia, was found shot to death on the morning of Wednesday, March 12, 2014. Rodgers, who was also known as "Jo-Jo," was discovered by a guest in a stairwell of the Red Roof Inn on Northampton Boulevard in Virginia Beach.
Police launched a homicide investigation and looked into a call they had received hours earlier. Just after midnight, a report of shots fired had come from the Americas Best Value Inn, a motel located next door to where Rodgers was found. Officers who responded to that initial call did not find anything. After Rodgers's body was discovered around 8:30 a.m., investigators began working to determine if the two events were connected.
Detectives spent the morning at the scene collecting evidence and knocking on hotel room doors to speak with guests. They also planned to review the history of police responses to both motels.
As of March 2014, the case was an active homicide investigation. The shooting of Joseph Rodgers remains unsolved.
