On the evening of June 13, 2021, 51-year-old John Epitacio Casiquito was found dead of a gunshot wound inside a residence on Canning Place in Chesapeake, Virginia. Police located the victim after a call about an injured person and pronounced him deceased at the scene.

A housemate, 69-year-old Richard Clayton Seevers, was taken into custody at the residence. Neighbors reported frequent arguments between the two men, and Seevers was charged with first-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. He was arraigned and held without bond, and the matter proceeded through a preliminary hearing and grand jury indictment.

Court records show Seevers later entered a guilty plea to voluntary manslaughter and a related firearm offense; the plea was accepted and led to convictions. He received a suspended 10-year term for voluntary manslaughter and three years active for the firearm count.
