On the evening of February 12, 2023, 20-year-old Tayvion Centrell Ajanique Williams of Norfolk was shot during an exchange of gunfire on St. George Way in Hampton. Hampton Police responded to multiple calls of gunfire shortly before 7:40 p.m. and later identified the incident as a homicide after finding Williams wounded at the scene.

Police say Williams had been involved in an altercation with 19-year-old Michael Goffigan of Virginia Beach. Both men reportedly drew firearms and exchanged shots; Williams and Goffigan were struck. Williams was transported to a local hospital by Hampton Division of Fire and Rescue and later died of his injuries. Goffigan fled the scene, was treated at Norfolk Sentara General Hospital, and has been identified by police as the suspect; he was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and other offenses.

Williams was born in Newport News, raised in Virginia Beach, graduated from Bethel High School in Hampton, and attended Tidewater Community College. Does anyone have information about the shooting or knew Williams and can help investigators?
