One of the victims of the February homicide was from Radford.
“On Sept. 8, 2026, a Roanoke City Grand Jury returned true bills on eight felony indictments against Jamal Edward Crump in connection with the Feb. 8, 2026, double homicide that claimed the lives of 35-year-old Khireem Jerome Porter of Radford and 37-year-old Jeffrie Lamont Meadows of Wytheville,” the RCPD announced. “Throughout the investigation, detectives worked closely with the Roanoke City Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office and the Roanoke Police Department’s iSTAR Unit.
