Anthony Craige Thomas, 20, of Washington, D.C., was shot in the early evening of January 21, 2020, in the 4300 block of Hardee Court in Hampton, Virginia. A neighbor or passerby heard a man’s cry for help shortly after a shot and found Thomas with a gunshot wound to his abdomen. That citizen put Thomas into a vehicle and drove him to a nearby police officer; EMS then transported him to a hospital where he was initially listed in critical but stable condition.

Thomas died of his wounds the next day, January 22, 2020, and the death was classified as a homicide. Hampton Police Division opened an intensive investigation and asked the public for information, but no suspects or arrests were announced in the immediate aftermath and the motive has remained unclear.

If anyone has information about that evening on Hardee Court or saw activity in the neighborhood around January 21, 2020, please come forward to Hampton Police.
