Jasiah TyShawn Smith, 18, was fatally shot inside a residence in the 1200 block of 29th Street in Newport News on February 25, 2026. Police were called at about 12:36 a.m.; Smith was taken to a local hospital and died of his injuries. Known to family by nicknames including Noodle, Boug, and Bubba, he was the oldest of six siblings, had attended Stafford County and Hampton City public schools, worked in landscaping, and enjoyed music, dancing, roller skating, and fishing.

Family described him as having taken on the role of the man of the house and as deeply protective of loved ones. On March 2, 2026, with assistance from the U.S. Marshals, 19-year-old Jahkri Tysheek Wilson was arrested without incident and charged with second-degree murder, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and discharging a firearm within an occupied dwelling; the investigation remains ongoing.

Does anyone have information about what happened that night or knew Jasiah and can help investigators?
