On a Saturday evening in Hampton, Virginia, the life of 32-year-old Reginald K. Jenkins Jr. was tragically cut short. On May 9, 2020, Jenkins, a lifelong resident of the area, was killed in an act of gun violence. Remembered as a devoted and loving father, his sudden death left his family and community in mourning. An obituary described him as a man who was an active part of his community, serving as a football coach for the Phoebus Phantoms Rec League.
In the wake of the shooting, the
Hampton Police Division launched a homicide investigation. Their efforts led to a breakthrough in the case, and an arrest was made in connection with the Saturday night homicide. However, details regarding the suspect's identity and the specifics of the arrest have not been widely publicized in the available online news sources.
Further information about the circumstances leading to the shooting, the name of the individual taken into custody, and the subsequent legal proceedings, including any trial or conviction, is not readily available in public online records. The case, therefore, remains without a public resolution detailing the conclusion of the investigation and the outcome for the person or persons responsible for Reginald Jenkins Jr.'s death. His passing was noted in the obituary of his father, Reginald K. Jenkins Sr., who passed away in 2024, with his son having preceded him in death.
