A 19-year-old man, Joshua Scriven, was shot and killed on the evening of January 15, 2023, in Hampton, Virginia. Just before 6 p.m., in the first block of County Street near the Phoebus area, Scriven was walking in a parking lot when gunshots were fired. He was taken first to a nearby fire station and then transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.

The investigation continued for months. On August 19, 2023, police arrested 22-year-old Malicah Forbes and charged Forbes with second-degree murder, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, discharging a firearm in a public place, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. On September 18, 2023, 18-year-old Amauri Powell was also arrested and charged with second-degree murder, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and discharging a firearm in a public place.

Did anyone in the Phoebus area see activity on County Street that evening or have information about the shooting or the people involved?
