On October 15, 2022, 24-year-old Rashee Daquan Parson was fatally shot while standing outside an apartment in the 3000 block of Parkside Drive in Chesapeake, Virginia. According to authorities, two acquaintances approached and greeted him, then moments after walking past turned around and began shooting at the unarmed Parson. An autopsy found he sustained twenty separate gunshot wounds; the shooters fled the scene immediately after the attack.

The Chesapeake Police Department’s Homicide Detectives and Gang Suppression Unit led the investigation. Cell phone data placed a juvenile at the scene; that juvenile was arrested, tried as an adult, and in October 2024 convicted by a jury of first-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of murder. A sentencing hearing for the convicted individual is scheduled for February 27, 2025. Details about the reported co-defendant have not been provided.

Parson, born March 24, 1998, in Norfolk, Virginia, was known as Gway Jitt Baby or Sheed. He earned a GED after attending Norfolk Public Schools and ROTC, worked as a barber and unloading containers, and was a father who family and friends remembered as loving, funny, outgoing, and helpful. Does anyone have information about the second person involved or about Parson’s final hours?
