A spring break gathering in Chesapeake, Virginia, ended in tragedy on the night of April 8, 2026, when 17-year-old Deep Creek High School student Keny Martinez Rodriguez was found with a gunshot wound to the head in the 900 block of Landing Creek Drive shortly after 11 p.m. He was taken to a local hospital and later died of his injuries. Detectives processed the scene with dozens of evidence markers; witnesses reported a gray SUV leaving the area shortly after the shooting.

Keny’s family emigrated from Guatemala as refugees after the earlier violent death of his sister. Loved ones describe him as warm, playful and gentle, and the school community has been deeply affected by his loss. As of mid-April 2026 no arrests had been made and the suspect or suspects remained at large.

Did anyone in the Chesapeake area see a gray SUV near Landing Creek Drive that night or have information that could help investigators?
