Shelvin D. Alston, 30, was shot and killed in Norfolk on the evening of May 30, 2020. Officers found him with multiple gunshot wounds in the 1100 block of Oaklawn Avenue in the Broad Creek neighborhood; he was pronounced dead at the scene around 7:20 p.m.

The investigation led to the arrest of Michael A. Faulkner about a month later, on June 29, 2020, on charges of second-degree murder and use of a firearm; those charges were dismissed at a preliminary hearing. The case remained largely inactive until a grand jury returned a new indictment on June 1, 2022, charging Faulkner with first-degree murder, use of a firearm, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Prosecutors relied in part on convenience-store surveillance that they say captured an argument between Faulkner and Alston, and on a witness who described someone matching Faulkner’s description getting into the passenger side of a white SUV that left the scene after Alston was shot four times.

A jury found Michael Faulkner guilty of first-degree murder and use of a firearm on September 13, 2023. Did anyone in the Broad Creek area see or remember that white SUV or the argument near Oaklawn Avenue on May 30, 2020?
