In the quiet city of Hopewell, Virginia, the life of Jimmy Darrelle Beverly, a 49-year-old male, was abruptly ended on the evening of January 8, 2020. Around 7:30 p.m., police officers were dispatched to a residence in the 100 block of Brooklawn Avenue following reports of a shooting. Upon their arrival, they discovered Mr. Beverly had sustained a gunshot wound. Despite the immediate response from Hopewell Fire and EMS, he was pronounced deceased at the scene.
Jimmy, who was born on June 20, 1970, was remembered as a loving son, father, brother, and friend to many. He found joy in spending time with his family, particularly in the garden with his mother. A devoted fan of the Dallas Cowboys, his death left a significant void in the lives of those who knew and loved him. The investigation into his murder was launched promptly, with detectives from the Hopewell Criminal Investigations Unit taking the lead.
As the years have passed, the investigation into Jimmy Beverly's homicide has remained active. While several leads have been developed, law enforcement has indicated that more information and evidence are crucial to making an arrest. In an effort to bring closure to his grieving family, the Hopewell Police Department has made public appeals for assistance. They have urged anyone with information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, to come forward. A reward of up to $1000 has been offered for tips that lead to an arrest, with the option for informants to remain anonymous through the Hopewell Prince George Crime Solvers hotline or the P3tips mobile app. To date, the person or persons responsible for this violent act have not been brought to justice.
