On the evening of September 29, 2025, 19-year-old Kyree Staton of Norfolk was fatally shot in Hampton. Officers responding to a report of a shooting in the first block of Sacramento Drive arrived about 7:35 p.m. and found two people with life-threatening gunshot wounds; Staton was pronounced dead at the scene and a 17-year-old male was taken to a hospital in stable condition.

Investigators say the shooting does not appear random. The preliminary investigation indicates the parties knew one another and had arranged to meet at that location, and that the meeting may have had possible narcotics-related overtones. A verbal dispute reportedly escalated into an exchange of gunfire that struck both individuals. No arrests or suspects have been publicly named and the Hampton Police Division’s investigation is ongoing.
