On the night of November 18, 2022, 18-year-old Shaun Fauntleroy of Newport News was fatally shot in Hampton, Virginia. Calls reporting gunfire around 10:48 p.m. brought officers first to Nickerson Boulevard and Bridgeport Cove Drive, where a 14-year-old boy was found dead in the roadway. A short time later officers responded to the 30 block of Silver Isles Boulevard and found Fauntleroy with a fatal gunshot wound.

Investigators say Fauntleroy, the 14-year-old, and a 16-year-old male from Newport News were together in the same vehicle when multiple people approached and opened fire, riddling the car with bullets. The driver fled seeking help and stopped in the Silver Isles area. The 16-year-old survived with non-life-threatening injuries. Police described the attack as senseless and said they had no immediate evidence tying it to gang activity or to a reported high school football-game fight that evening.

The investigation into the double homicide was active and police appealed to the community for information. Did anyone in the Hampton or Newport News area see activity near Nickerson Boulevard, Bridgeport Cove Drive, or Silver Isles Boulevard that night?
