Romell Chamblee Jr was a 5-year-old boy from Elizabeth City, North Carolina, who died after being shot on October 17, 2021. Known as Snook, he was described as energetic and loving and his death has deeply affected family and neighbors in Hickory Village Mobile Home Park.

Police say they received a call around 5 p.m. reporting a child had been shot in the stomach with a BB gun. Officers found Romell with a gunshot wound; he received first aid and was taken to Sentara Albemarle Medical Center, where he later died. Investigators later seized a handgun at the scene, described as a 9mm pistol, but how Romell was shot and the origin of that firearm are unclear. No charges have been filed as of the latest update and the Elizabeth City Police Department is investigating. The family launched a GoFundMe to help cover funeral costs.
