Glyn Junior Jenkins, a 29-year-old African American male, was tragically murdered on January 10, 2015, in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. Jenkins was walking to a store on Cascade Avenue when he was fatally shot in a drive-by shooting. Witnesses reported that a white car approached Jenkins and opened fire, leaving him dead at the scene. The incident occurred outside his home, and his mother, Yvonne Pitt, was awakened by the sound of gunshots.
She found her son lying on the ground, and despite efforts by police officers to revive him, Jenkins was already deceased.
The murder of Glyn Junior Jenkins remains unsolved, and no arrests have been made in connection with his death. The Rocky Mount Police Department has offered a $5,000 reward for any information leading to an arrest in the case. Jenkins' family, particularly his mother and younger brother, have expressed frustration with the lack of progress in the investigation. The case is one of many unsolved murders in Rocky Mount, and the police department has faced challenges in solving these cases due to limited resources and personnel.
Despite the passage of time, Jenkins' family continues to seek justice for his murder. The Rocky Mount Police Department has dismantled the task force initially created to address cold cases, leaving only one full-time investigator dedicated to solving these cases. The investigation into Jenkins' murder is ongoing, and the police department encourages anyone with information to come forward and assist in bringing closure to the family.
