In the early morning hours of October 9, 2023, a shooting at the 7-Eleven on George Washington Highway in Portsmouth, Virginia, left 21-year-old Arthur House dead. House, originally from Janesville, Wisconsin, was an active-duty Pharmacy Technician in the United States Navy. Portsmouth police arrived just before 4 a.m. and found him with gunshot wounds; he was taken to a local hospital and later pronounced dead.

Authorities said a suspect was taken into custody, but as of the latest report no identity or motive has been released. Investigators towed at least two cars from the 7-Eleven parking lot, both showing what appeared to be bullet holes.

If anyone saw activity at that 7-Eleven around 3:30–4:00 a.m. on October 9, 2023, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
