A domestic incident in Newport News, Virginia, on April 1, 2026, ended with the death of 37-year-old Keshia Pearley. Officers responded just before 1 p.m. to a Deputy Lane residence after reports of a shooting and found Pearley with a fatal gunshot wound; she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators quickly identified her husband, 39-year-old Joquan Antonio Porter, as the primary suspect. Porter fled the area and was being sought as armed and dangerous. Authorities later charged him with first-degree murder, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and discharging a firearm within an occupied dwelling, and a warrant was issued for his arrest.

Whoever has information about Porter’s whereabouts or the incident is asked to contact the Newport News Police Department.
