Brent Andre Hargraves, 36, was found unresponsive inside his vehicle after a shooting and crash on the 10 block of Calvin Street in Portsmouth, Virginia, on January 6, 2025. Officers arriving about 11:20 p.m. pronounced him dead at the scene; he had sustained a fatal gunshot wound. Hargraves was an African American father to a young child.

The family, including a great-uncle who is a local anti-violence activist and who had lost his son to gun violence in 2023, described profound grief; they had spent time with Hargraves and his son just days before the shooting. The Portsmouth Police Department identified 24-year-old Keonte Deshawn Knight as a person of interest they wanted to question, but no charges have been announced.

The homicide remains an active, open investigation. If anyone has information that could help identify who shot Brent Hargraves, please contact the Portsmouth Police Department.
