Flock cameras helped identify suspects in deadly I-264 shooting, court docs show
Both 19-year-old Jamir Bennett and 20-year-old Asia Wiggins were charged in connection with the shooting, but neither face a direct charge for the shooting death of 19-year-old Alexis Styles. Bennett was charged with with being an accessory after the fact of a homicide and one count of possession of a firearm by a convicted violent felon. Wiggins was charged with being an accessory after the fact of a homicide.
Court documents obtained by News 3 describe how flock cameras captured the license plate of a purple Lexus sedan that followed the victims’ vehicle from their neighborhood onto I-264, where the shooting occurred. After the incident, the sedan went to a car wash at Holland Road and South Plaza Trail in Virginia Beach. Surveillance footage showed Wiggins and two men throwing away several items from their vehicle.
Witnesses say they saw Wiggins and Bennett put a black semi-automatic handgun in a DC shoe box, according to court documents. Virginia State Police say they searched the discarded items and found ammunition that matched what was found at the I-264 shooting scene. Police later searched Wiggins’ house — where Bennett said he sometimes stayed at with Wiggins — and found the DC shoe box containing ammunition, according to court documents. A gun was found inside the bathroom toilet.
