CHESAPEAKE, Va. — A security guard who fatally shot a man in Chesapeake last month appeared in court Friday by video for his arraignment. Johnathan Cromwell is charged with second degree murder and the use of a firearm in the commission of murder of 60 year old Jiansheng Chen shown above. The Office of the Commonwealth’s Attorney announced Thursday that the two warrants had been issued for Cromwell, who turned himself in to Virginia Beach Police around 5:20 p.m. that same day.

Chen, driving a blue van, turned into the driveway of the Riverwalk Clubhouse parking area in the 700 block of River Walk Pkwy. at about 11 p.m. on Jan. 26, according to the news release. When Cromwell stopped his vehicle directly in front of Chen’s van, Chen backed up and turned around. He was at the entrance of the driveway facing the street, according to the release.

Cromwell exited his car and said “stop” before he fired, the release said. Chen was shot five times: four times in the upper left chest and once in the upper left arm. Chen, 60, died at the scene.
