Giselle Britt, a 30-year-old Black woman from Franklin, Virginia, was shot in the early morning hours of October 2, 2025. Officers responding shortly before 3 a.m. found her in the 1300 block of Mariner Street with gunshot wounds to her back and stomach. Emergency crews took her to Bon Secours Southampton Medical Center where staff were able to resuscitate her once, but she later died of her injuries.

A short time after Britt was discovered, Suffolk police notified Franklin authorities that a man had arrived at Sentara Obici Hospital with gunshot wounds to his hand and leg; investigators determined the two shootings were related. As of a week after the incident, no arrests had been made and no suspects were in custody. Britt was a mother of four children under the age of ten; her family acknowledged her struggles with addiction but stressed that did not justify her killing and have called for justice.

Does anyone have information about the events on Mariner Street that night or about the person treated at Sentara Obici Hospital?
