On the late hours of July 15, 2024, 19-year-old Nasir J. Mosley was found fatally shot inside his vehicle after it had veered off Atlantic Avenue near Buckroe Beach in Hampton and come to rest partially submerged in a marsh. Nasir’s parents were alerted by a crash detection app and discovered the scene; Hampton Police say the gunshot wounds caused him to lose control of the car, and the crash followed those injuries.

Police canvassed the area and collected evidence, but no suspects had been identified and no arrests were made in the immediate aftermath. Nasir’s family has publicly offered a $5,000 reward; combined with up to $1,500 from the Hampton Crime Line, the total potential reward stands at $6,500. The family also launched a non-profit called Moms Hurting Around the World to connect with other families affected by gun violence.

If anyone has information about Nasir’s shooting or the events on Atlantic Avenue near Buckroe Beach that night, please contact the Hampton Police Division.
