In the quiet city of Charlottesville, Virginia, the life of 31-year-old Floyd Randolph Alston Jr., a Black man, was tragically cut short on November 21, 2015. Alston was found deceased in his apartment on South First Street, the victim of a fatal shooting. His death was the result of a violent home invasion, an act that would lead to a lengthy investigation and the eventual arrests of two men.
Months after the incident, in May 2016, the Charlottesville Police Department announced the
first arrest in the case. Jordan Jerome Eaddy, a 26-year-old from Culpeper, was taken into custody and charged with a string of serious offenses, including murder, breaking and entering while armed with a deadly weapon, and attempted robbery. The investigation continued, pointing to the involvement of a second individual.
The second suspect, Pierre Gerard Augustine, also 26 years old at the time, was apprehended in October 2016. He faced a similarly grave set of charges: first-degree murder in the commission of an attempted robbery, first-degree murder in the commission of a burglary, burglary while armed with a deadly weapon, and attempted robbery. Both men were held without bond at the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail as they awaited their court proceedings.
Details regarding the trials, convictions, and ultimate sentences for Jordan Jerome Eaddy and Pierre Gerard Augustine for their roles in the death of Floyd Randolph Alston Jr. are not available in the provided online sources. The legal resolution of this case, which began with a violent intrusion and ended a man's life, remains undisclosed in the public record.
