In the early morning hours of November 27, 2019, Calbert S. Thomas, 48, was shot and killed on a dead-end block in the East End of Newport News, Virginia. Police received an initial call about someone tampering with vehicles in the 1400 block of 24th Street around 3:50 a.m., then a second report of gunfire. Thomas, a resident of that block, went outside to confront a person he saw at his vehicle and was fatally shot; he died a short time after officers arrived.

Neighbors reported hearing about seven shots and described the normally quiet, child-filled street as stunned by the violence. The Newport News Police Department has not announced any arrests or identified suspects, and the case remains unsolved as one of several the department has assigned to a Cold Case Team for re-examination.

Does anyone who lived on or near 24th Street that night have information that could help investigators?
