Rodney Epps, 54, was fatally shot outside the Happy Shopper convenience store on Campostella Road in Norfolk, Virginia, on the evening of July 1, 2019. Emergency dispatch received a call about a person with a gunshot wound at 9:48 p.m.; officers who arrived found Epps had been shot and later died from his injuries. Two other people were wounded that night: a woman who declined treatment at the scene and a 20-year-old man taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Epps was well known at the Happy Shopper, described by his sister as a lovable, peaceful community man who often helped around the store. Regular customers recalled his daily greetings, a wave or a fist bump, and the family waited near the scene into the early morning seeking answers. In the days after the shooting, Norfolk Police arrested Hannah Moore and Dajuan May-Daily, who were charged in connection with Epps’s murder.
