Hunter Kendrick Orlando, a 27-year-old White man from Roanoke, Virginia, was fatally shot and found on a sidewalk near the intersection of Jamison Avenue and 13th Street in Southeast Roanoke in the early morning hours of May 9, 2025. Roanoke Police responded after reports of an argument and gunshots and pronounced Orlando dead at the scene around 4:09 a.m.

Investigators say another man suffered non-life-threatening gunshot wounds and was located at nearby Fallon Park; police believe his injuries were sustained during the same altercation that led to Orlando’s death. A homicide investigation was opened and authorities identified 38-year-old Thomas Dewayne Delp as a suspect, obtaining a warrant for second-degree murder.

Delp was located and taken into custody on May 11, 2025; police said there was no longer an ongoing threat to the community. The motive and full circumstances of the shooting remain under investigation. Did anyone in Roanoke see or hear anything that could help piece together what happened that morning?
