Tiquan Smith, 30, was shot and killed while driving on South Military Highway in Chesapeake on November 20, 2022. He had told family he was heading to a local sports bar to watch a game and was on the phone with his girlfriend when he reported seeing a car turn around; the call then went silent. Officers later found him inside his vehicle with a fatal gunshot wound and a bullet hole in the driver’s side window.

His mother, Sharon Barnes, and her husband, Kenneth, say Smith was the centerpiece of the family and a father to two young daughters. The family has created a memorial at the scene and continues to press for information as the investigation remains open. As of late 2023, the Chesapeake Police Department had not publicly identified suspects or made arrests.

Did anyone in the area see a car turning around on South Military Highway that night or have other information about what happened?
