MARTINSVILLE, VIRGINIA - The Martinsville Police Department said three people have been arrested following 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 taken to SOVAH Martinsville Hospital, where she later died from her injuries, police said.
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, police said.
