‘We know someone has information': Hopewell asks public to help solve 2022 double-homicide
Police in Hopewell are turning to the public for help in solving a three-year-old murder case where the victims were found inside a car in a city neighborhood.
On June 28, 2022, officers received a call of shots fired in the area of South 13th Avenue and Buren Street. They arrived to find Jerrell Lynwood, 33, and Amanda Horner, 35, shot to death inside a crashed car.
The incident was one of two double-murder cases in Hopewell in a one-week period. In that same period, a total of six people were reported shot.
An investigation into the killings has been ongoing, but unfortunately for authorities, the trail went cold.
In a statement July 11, Hopewell Police said the department wants to 'bring closure' to the victims' families.
'We are asking for the community's help in identifying and locating the vehicle and the individuals involved in this tragic and senseless act of violence,' the statement read. 'We know that someone has information about what happened that night, and we are pleading with the community to come forward so that justice can be served.'
Anyone with information on the deaths is asked to contact Detective Tara Clark at (804) 541-2284. The info can also be shared anonymously through Crime Solvers at (804) 541-2202 or the P3Tips mobile app.
