On the morning of September 30, 2024, 20-year-old Keshawn Woodhouse was shot and killed in the 600 block of Fox Creek Court in Virginia Beach. Officers found Woodhouse with critical gunshot wounds just before 10 a.m.; first responders attempted life-saving measures but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Surveillance footage from a nearby home reportedly shows Woodhouse outside with two other people. The video is said to capture one of them, identified as 19-year-old Javon Pollard, drawing a gun, demanding Woodhouse’s belongings, and then shooting him multiple times as Woodhouse tried to flee into the residence. Pollard allegedly fled in a vehicle and was involved in a hit-and-run less than a mile away; license plate reader data and coordination with Portsmouth police led to his arrest within about 13 hours. He was charged with second-degree murder, unauthorized use of a firearm, attempted robbery, and felony hit and run.
A later arrest on November 21, 2024, named 18-year-old Aarion Hopkins of Chesapeake and brought charges including first-degree murder, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, attempted robbery, and conspiracy. Pollard’s charges were also upgraded to first-degree murder and a conspiracy count was added.
If anyone has information about Woodhouse, where he spent time, or the events that morning, please share what is known.
