On the evening of June 30, 2020, 19-year-old X’Zavier Jhi’Shawn Roberts of Norfolk was found suffering from gunshot wounds in the 1700 block of Hoover Avenue in Chesapeake. Police responded to a call about an injured person around 9:11 p.m.; first responders pronounced him dead at the scene. Authorities did not identify any suspects or release a motive in the initial investigation and asked the public for information.

X’Zavier, known as Zavier or Zay, was remembered by family as an adventurous, outgoing young man who loved the arts and dancing and enjoyed sailing, swimming, snorkeling, fishing, and hiking. He was described as an exceptional older brother, devoted son and grandson, and a person raised in a Christian home who had just been approved for his first home on the day he was killed.

Does anyone have information about that June 30, 2020 shooting or recall seeing anything in the Hoover Avenue area that night?
