He died of those injuries in the early morning hours of April 14, 2022, and the incident is being investigated as a homicide.

Witnesses reported a grey Nissan with tinted windows arriving shortly before the shooting. Two people are said to have exited the vehicle and opened fire on Pridgen and another person before fleeing.

Anyone with information about the grey Nissan, the two people who left it, or the shooting itself is asked to contact the Hampton Police Division.
