On the morning of December 24, 2022, 31-year-old Timothy B. Anderson II was shot and killed in the 1600 block of West Pembroke Avenue in Hampton, Virginia. Emergency responders found Anderson with multiple gunshot wounds at about 3:20 a.m.; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Reports say he may have been removed from a private club near West Pembroke Avenue and Shell Road after an altercation before being found in front of the Pembroke Enterprises Shoppes.

Anderson, known to family and friends as TJ or Swagg, was originally from Atlanta and moved to Hampton Roads in 2009 to attend The Apprentice School in Newport News. He worked 11 years at the Newport News shipyard after graduating as an outside machinist and later ran two businesses, a catering company called Sweet & Savory and a handyman service named Man of the House. His family describes him as humble, caring, and hardworking.

The Hampton Police Division continues to investigate; no suspects or arrests have been publicly announced and the family says the case feels cold. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Hampton Police Division or the Crime Line.
