On the evening of June 28, 2025, police responded to a home on 7th Street NW in Roanoke, Virginia, and found 55-year-old Israel Calloway, a Black/African American man, fatally shot inside the residence. His death was investigated as a homicide.

Authorities quickly identified Calloway’s 24-year-old son, Rayjuan Antonio Calloway, as a person of interest and searched for him, believing he might be driving a white Honda Accord. The next morning a police officer in Prince Edward County spotted Rayjuan; during the encounter he allegedly fired at the officer and fled, triggering a multi-agency manhunt and a shelter-in-place order for nearby residents. He was located the same afternoon near Route 460 and Sulpher Spring Road and taken into custody without further incident.

Rayjuan Antonio Calloway was charged with second-degree murder in his father’s death and with attempted capital murder in connection with the shooting at the officer. Does anyone have information about the family, the 7th Street NW neighborhood, or events leading up to June 28 that could help clarify what happened?
