Heath Kevin Williams, 26, was fatally shot in the early morning hours of September 3, 2019, in Newport News, Virginia. Police received a shots-fired call just before 2 a.m. in the 3000 block of Roanoke Avenue, and a short time later a second call sent officers to the 1100 block of 30th Street where Williams was found with multiple gunshot wounds and pronounced dead at the scene.

Williams was born in Washington, D.C., on November 7, 1992, and was a resident of Newport News at the time of his death. The Newport News Police Department investigated the death as a homicide and organized a C.A.R.E. Walk in the neighborhood seeking community leads. In the immediate aftermath no suspects were identified and police appealed to the public for information.

As of late 2024 there had been no public announcements of arrests or suspect identifications and the investigation remained open; the case may be eligible for review by the department’s Cold Case Team. If anyone has information about Williams or the shooting on September 3, 2019, please contact the Newport News Police Department.
