Seventeen-year-old Keny Martinez Rodriguez, a Hispanic student at Deep Creek High School, was shot and killed during a Spring Break gathering in Chesapeake, Virginia. The shooting occurred shortly after 11 p.m. on April 8, 2026, inside a residence in the 900 block of Landing Creek Drive. Officers found Keny with a gunshot wound to his head; he was taken to a hospital and later died from his injuries.

Detectives canvassed the neighborhood and collected dozens of pieces of evidence at the scene. Witnesses reported a gray SUV leaving the area shortly after the shots. By mid-April 2026 no arrests had been announced. Keny’s family had previously come to the United States from Guatemala after his sister was killed there, and they now face the renewed trauma of losing a child.

Does anyone who was in the Landing Creek Drive area that night or who saw a gray SUV leaving the scene have information to share with Chesapeake Police?
