PORTSMOUTH, Va. — Portsmouth police are trying to find a suspect who authorities said is connected to a deadly shooting on Washington Street last month.
On Dec. 27, officers responded to find Jamir Barnes, 20, dead at the scene.
On Tuesday, police released pictures of a suspect in the case who was driving a 2015 silver Jeep Cherokee that had been reported stolen. Authorities described the suspect as an adult male wearing black pants that have white writing on the sides. He's also wearing a black North Face hoodie and a white beany.
