BRUNSWICK COUNTY, Va. β€” The victim and suspect in a shooting along Interstate 85 in Mecklenberg County last week knew each other, Crime Insider sources tell Jon Burkett.

Jason Allen Glidewell II, 19, of Bracey, turned himself in on Wednesday evening, Crime Insider sources tell Jon Burkett. The Virginia State Police later confirmed he was in custody.

"At approximately 6:02 p.m. on Wednesday, September 3, 2025, a senior special agent with the Virginia State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation Appomattox Field Office was contacted by an acquaintance of Jason Allen Glidewell, II, and told that Glidewell wanted to turn himself in and was at the Meherrin River Regional Jail in Alberta," a Virginia State Police spokesperson confirmed in a Thursday morning email. "Glidewell was then taken into custody without incident with the assistance."

Glidewell, who has an initial court appearance scheduled for Thursday, was wanted on charges of second-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony in connection with the Aug. 28 shooting along I-85 northbound at the 5-mile marker.

Hunter A. Bates, 20, of Colonial Heights, was found shot to death in his car that had crashed off the highway on Thursday, August 28.

The motive of the shooting is still unknown, but Crime Insider sources say that Bates had a relationship with one of Glidewell's relatives at one time.
