First responders found him with a gunshot wound and he was taken to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital, where he later died.

Investigators identified a suspect the same evening. Diandre Wesley Moss, 32, of Chesapeake, was taken into custody in Williamsburg and charged with second-degree murder and the use of a firearm in the commission of a felony; he was held at the Norfolk City Jail without bond.
