On the evening of February 26, 2025, gunfire in a parking lot near the Broderick Dining Commons on Old Dominion University’s Norfolk campus left two men dead. Timothy G. Williams II, 20, a Black/African American man from Norfolk, was one of the victims; the other was 18-year-old Delanio Vick. The shooting occurred at about 9:40 p.m. Emergency crews found both men with life-threatening gunshot wounds and they were taken to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital, where they were pronounced deceased.

Neither Williams nor Vick were students at the university. Old Dominion University imposed a shelter-in-place order that was lifted later that evening. The Norfolk Police Department and Old Dominion University Police are treating the deaths as a double homicide and the investigation remains active. No suspects or arrests have been publicly identified. If anyone has information about the shooting, contact the Norfolk Crime Line.
