Dear Ms. Parr, Mr. Herring, Dr. Krasnoff, Colonel Wright, Governor McAuliffe, and Members of General Assembly,

I am writing to you on behalf of 101 organizations listed after this letter regarding the killing of Mr. Jiansheng Chen. 

We are shocked and deeply saddened by the shooting death of a 60-year-old grandpa, Jiansheng Chen, in the River Walk Community of Chesapeake, Virginia on January 26, 2017. Along with many concerned citizens in this country who have expressed their thoughts online and offline in the past days, we are deeply troubled by this case because of several highly unusual and disturbing facts.
First of all, which is also the most critical question for everyone concerned, what should be the role and limits of security guards? The community clearly expected the guards to protect them, yet one of their own residents was shot right in front of the club house in this very community. The HOA contract clearly stated that the guards were to be “unarmed” while on patrol. Yet this shooter carried a gun while performing his patrol duty. Whether the guard was authorized to carry a gun or not while on patrol was a glaring contradiction between the HOA contract released earlier and the statement from the lawyer of the security guard company on Monday February 6. 

Second, what kind of interaction prior to the shooting could have led to and justify firing six shots at the front windshield of a car where a 60-year old man was just playing the Pokémon go? The claim of shooting in self-defense after an altercation that night with Chen who has had multiple previous encounters with the guard was counter intuitive at best.  A stream of questions surfaced on whether shooting was the most typical reaction for avoiding a car headed straight for someone, whether firing so many shots in such a concentrated area on the windshield was feasible with a car moving at a speed that posed life threatening danger, and whether and how the car could have not crashed into anything after the driver was shot to death.

Finally, what should be the proper protocol after a life was lost? To the best of our knowledge, the shooter was dismissed right after being questioned for a few minutes and was not arrested. It has been two weeks after the shooting and the public is still in the dark as to the results of the investigation, or even the shooter’s name.

We are here to express concerns over what transpired that night and what followed. We, along with all concerned citizens, strongly urge that the City of Chesapeake and its Police Department conduct a thorough, fair, and transparent investigation. Chen's family, their community, and all citizens in the society concerned about the use of deadly forces deserve nothing less than the truth. We reserve the rights to take appropriate actions in the future to support Mr. Chen's family if this case is not handled properly.
Respectfully Yours,
 
Dr. Wei Zhang
