Martinsville Police have arrested another suspect in connection to a homicide that occurred in August. On August 12, 2025, Martinsville Police responded to a large disturbance in the 500 block of Forest Street.

Upon arrival, officers discovered that Crystal Galloway Jordan, 39, of Martinsville, had sustained multiple gunshot wounds. She was transported to SOVAH Martinsville Hospital, where she later succumbed to her injuries.

In the weeks following the homicide, Martinsville Police detectives gathered evidence and conducted numerous interviews. The investigation revealed that a large group of individuals had conspired to confront and assault a smaller group of Martinsville residents. This group traveled to Forest Street and initiated a violent altercation, during which firearms were brandished and discharged—ultimately resulting in Jordan’s death.

As a result of the initial investigation, eleven individuals were charged and arrested for malicious wounding by mob. Further investigation led to the arrest of Nashawn Lee Corbett, Micah Aaron Holmes, and Kwaheim Zaquon Hairston for first-degree murder.

Continued efforts by detectives led to the identification of a fourth suspect believed to have played a central role in the homicide. Kwashaun Awanta Hairston was arrested on January 9 for first-degree murder and is currently being held without bond.

This case remains under active investigation. If you have any information contact Martinsville Police at (276) 403-5458 or Crime Stoppers at (276) 63CRIME (276-632-7463).
