On the night of February 27, 2022, 38-year-old Crystal Nicole Jacobs was found dead from a gunshot wound inside a car in Portsmouth, Virginia. The vehicle was discovered near the Florida Avenue home of 71-year-old Irving Wolff, who was arrested after he admitted to police that he had shot Jacobs.
Wolff told investigators he acted in self-defense, saying Jacobs had asked him to drive her to a bank so she could buy drugs and that he refused because he had been drinking. He alleged Jacobs became aggressive, threw him around the apartment, grabbed his neck, and during a struggle he reached for his gun; he said a shot went into the ceiling and that he shot Jacobs in the torso after she allegedly tried to grab his neck again and later pointed at him as she ran toward the kitchen door. Detectives reported finding no injuries on Wolff and no evidence in the apartment to corroborate his account. Neighbors said they heard gunshots and one witness said Wolff knocked on their door asking them to call 9-1-1.
What does anyone who knew Crystal or who was in that neighborhood that night remember seeing or hearing?
