On June 27, 2025, Savon L. Majette, a 27-year-old Black man from Chesapeake, Virginia, was fatally shot around 1:00 p.m. in a parking area behind Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral off the 100 block of Fife Street in Norfolk. Mourners were leaving a memorial service at the nearby Metropolitan Funeral Home when gunfire erupted. Majette was found with a life-threatening gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene.

At least one stray bullet struck a cathedral wall where a summer day camp was in session, alarming families and staff. A second man arrived at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound; detectives say his injuries were connected to the same incident. City officials described the shooting as a targeted attack rather than random violence.

The Norfolk Police Department continued an active investigation and urged anyone with information to come forward. Does anyone have information about who was involved or saw activity around the cathedral that afternoon?
