In the early hours of May 14, 2022, 20-year-old Tyzuaan Staton-Fuller was shot and killed inside the Howmet Aerospace facility on Howmet Drive in Hampton, Virginia. Police found Staton-Fuller with multiple gunshot wounds after responding to a call just after midnight; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Court documents say the shooting followed a workplace argument that escalated into a physical fight with coworker 29-year-old Alonzo Trower Jr. Investigators allege Trower retrieved a firearm from a bag and shot Staton-Fuller. The dispute was described as originating outside their work relationship and as an isolated incident. Trower was arrested at the Hampton City Jail and charged with second-degree murder, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and shooting within an occupied building; court records indicate he confessed.

Howmet Aerospace had a no-firearms policy but did not screen employees with metal detectors; the company canceled shifts that weekend and offered counseling to staff. Did anyone who worked at the plant know about tensions between these two men or see anything that morning?
