Maurice Anthony Holden, 43, known as Reese to his family, was killed on the evening of November 1, 2024, in the parking lot of the Dollar General on Lankford Highway in Mappsville, Virginia. Witnesses and surveillance say an altercation began after a car pulled up and a passenger, later identified as Jamal Anthony Samuel, reportedly threw a bottle at Holden. Holden was shot multiple times after returning to his vehicle; first responders found him unresponsive at about 7:26 p.m. and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

His body was taken to the Norfolk Medical Examiner’s Office for examination. Warrants were issued for Samuel, who was arrested the next day and charged in connection with the shooting.

If anyone saw the incident or has information about Holden that might help the investigation, please come forward.
