On the evening of Monday, December 15, 2025, a man was shot and killed in the parking lot of a commercial complex on the 1100 block of South Military Highway in Chesapeake, Virginia, near Long Shots Billiards and Darts. First responders found the victim with gunshot wounds shortly before 7:00 p.m.; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Forensics and a sustained police presence processed the area afterward.

The victim has been identified as Kelvin Earl Smith, a 40-year-old Chesapeake resident. Investigators described the killing as domestic in nature and said the shooting appeared to be an isolated incident with no ongoing threat to the public. Family members told reporters Smith was a father who was expecting another child and had been working to turn his life around.

Detectives named a suspect and obtained warrants charging 38-year-old Donelle D. Felder with murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. Felder was described as a Black man about six feet one inch tall and 245 pounds and was reported last seen near the 1100 block of Military Highway; police asked anyone with information to contact the Crime Line.

Did anyone in the area see or hear anything that night, or does anyone have information about Felder’s whereabouts?
