Kharee Jamar Scott, 16, was killed by gun violence on July 29, 2023, on Churchland Boulevard in Portsmouth, Virginia. Born November 27, 2006, he is remembered by family as a son, brother, and friend with a bright, compassionate personality and a playful sense of humor.

Kharee was active in faith and community life, baptized at age eight and involved in youth ministries at Ebenezer Baptist Church. He attended several Portsmouth schools, played wide receiver for I.C. Norcom High School’s junior varsity football team, and had recently moved to Texas to attend Tomball Memorial High School. He had just started his first job at Little Caesars and showed an early interest in stock investing.

There is no public information about arrests or identified suspects in the shooting. Does anyone have information about Kharee or what happened that night?
