Thomas L. Christian, 47, was shot to death the night of December 11, 2019, following an altercation outside a Norfolk soul food restaurant. First responders found him deceased in his vehicle, which had come to rest across East Princess Anne Road near Shelton Avenue, at about 10:15 p.m. He had suffered multiple gunshot wounds.

Investigators say the shooting began after an argument between Christian and 34-year-old Jermaine A. Witnesses reported Christian walked away and then returned with a firearm; a friend tried to intervene while Tucker allegedly retrieved a handgun from his vehicle and fired at Christian as he attempted to drive away. Tucker was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony; a woman was charged as an accessory after the fact.

If anyone witnessed the confrontation outside the restaurant or has information about what led up to the shooting, please share what is known.
