Hampton police identified and arrested 30-year-old Tyshawn Joseph DeShields of Newport News in connection with the shooting. DeShields was charged with murder, two counts of using a firearm in the commission of a felony, armed burglary, and discharging a firearm within a dwelling, and was held at the Hampton City Jail.

Anyone who witnessed the shooting or who has information that could help the investigation is asked to come forward to assist in bringing justice for Michael Davis.
