Jiansheng Chen, a 60-year-old grandfather, was shot dead by a security guard in Chesapeake, Virginia on the night of January 26, 2017. Chen was playing the augmented reality mobile game, Pokémon Go, in a minivan at the community clubhouse's parking lot when the security guard, Johnathan Cromwell, fired 10 shots, of which 5 hit Chen. He was a Chinese immigrant and spoke little English. On February 16, 2017, Cromwell was charged with second-degree murder and was sentenced to 30 years in prison on June 24, 2019. Aftermath According to a notice given to the residents of River Walk community, the contract for the patrol services is for unarmed patrols. After the shooting, the River Walk Community Association suspended and then terminated their contract with the security company who provided the security guard, Citywide Protection Services. On February 6, 2017, Andrew M. Sacks, an attorney representing Citywide Protection Services, which employed the security guard who shot Chen, held a news conference. According to Sacks, Chen repeatedly attempted to hit the security guard with his blue minivan; in response, the security guard fired "in reasonable fear for his life and safety". The evidence also confirmed that Chen had been in the same place 10 days earlier, and, as specified by Sacks, was warned that he was trespassing on private property and instructed not to return. More than 60 people protested in support of Chen outside Sacks' office in downtown Norfolk during the news conference. It was reported that Chen played Pokémon Go, "as a way to bond with his nieces, nephews, grand-nephews, grand-nieces, nephews-in-law, nieces-in-law, and grandchildren." According to Greg Sandler, an attorney representing Chen's family, Chen was playing Pokémon Go at the time when he was shot. Police said the security guard fired through more than one of the van's windows. The security guard fired several shots through the side window and, "then moved to the front of the van and fired through the windshield." On February 14, 2017, three U.S. Representatives, Donald McEachin (VA-04), Bobby Scott (VA-03), and Grace Meng (NY-06), issued a joint statement concerning the death of Jiansheng Chen. They stated they, "must know how a game of Pokémon Go turned into a fatal shooting."
