In the early morning hours of August 30, 2018, 24-year-old Reynaldo Eliazar Araujo was shot and killed at his residence in the 10000 block of Massie Street in Manassas, Virginia. Police found bullet holes in the front door and Araujo suffering from a gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators concluded the shooting was not random. Within days three teens were arrested over Labor Day weekend: 18-year-old Terrance Tyrese Martin, 19-year-old Ebelin Jojana Lopez, and 19-year-old Seni Jiminez Blanco. A fourth suspect, a 17-year-old male, was later located by U.S. Marshals in McAllen, Texas. Ultimately five people, including another juvenile, were implicated; a grand jury later indicted all five on a lynching charge under Virginia law, and one juvenile also faced a murder indictment. The group had gone to Araujo’s apartment with the intent to rob him and faced related charges such as attempted robbery, attempted armed robbery, and wearing a mask in public.

Does anyone have information about Araujo’s life in Manassas or about the events that night?
