On the morning of March 16, 2024, a birthday celebration in Norfolk, Virginia, ended in the fatal shooting of 28-year-old Katrina Ann Anderson, a Petty Officer First Class in the U.S. Navy. Anderson had been out with friends and returned with them to an apartment in the 1700 block of East Little Creek Road. An argument between Nildaliz A. Flores-Roman and her wife escalated in the parking lot; Anderson tried to intervene as Flores-Roman allegedly forced her wife toward the apartment.

Anderson attempted to flee; Flores-Roman shot her in the back and chest on the sidewalk outside the building and then struck her on the head with the gun. A 911 call was placed by Flores-Roman’s wife, but Anderson was pronounced dead at the scene. Flores-Roman was arrested at the scene and charged.

Anderson was stationed aboard the USS Mahan and memorial services were held in California, including a graveside service at Bakersfield National Cemetery. If anyone knew Anderson or witnessed the events that night, can you share information that might help clarify what happened?
