A fatal shooting on December 1, 2024, in a Newport News apartment left 26-year-old Jude Forfeuil dead. Police were called to the 700 block of Gloucester Drive about 2:30 a.m. after reports of a shooting; officers found three men with gunshot wounds. One man, identified as 23-year-old Jesus Hamilton of Hampton, was pronounced dead at the scene. Forfeuil, a resident of Yorktown, and a third man were taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries; Forfeuil later died and the third victim was reported in stable condition.

Newport News Police Chief Steve Drew said investigators view the incident as isolated and not random, tied to illegal drugs and firearms, and involving people who knew each other. No suspects or arrests have been publicly identified. Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact investigators — did anyone in the area see or hear anything that night?
