Emuel “fatty” Winston was 14 when he was killed in a shooting on September 23, 2023, on Drayton Road in the South Norfolk/Campostella area of Chesapeake, Virginia. Four other people were wounded in the same incident; two of those victims suffered permanent physical injuries. The Chesapeake Police Department opened an investigation into the shooting that devastated the family and neighborhood.

Emuel’s parents, Shannon and Clayton Winston, publicly appealed for answers and justice after their son’s death. Weeks later, Keyshawn Shannon was arrested and charged with second-degree murder in connection with Emuel’s killing; he faced a total of eight charges split between the Chesapeake Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court and the General District Court. A judge denied Shannon’s request for bond at a bond hearing where Emuel’s parents were present.

If anyone in the South Norfolk or Campostella area on or around September 23, 2023, has information that could help the ongoing proceedings, please come forward.
