Dr. William F. Trolenberg, a 65-year-old dentist at Deer Park Dental in Newport News, Virginia, was shot and killed outside his practice in the parking lot near Huber Road and Jefferson Avenue on the evening of June 19, 2019. Police found him outside his vehicle with a life-threatening gunshot wound; he was taken to a hospital and later died. Robbery was ruled out because his wallet and cash were left untouched.

Surveillance video from a nearby garage captured a man later identified as Kelly Michael Vance approaching Dr. Trolenberg as he got into his car, entering the passenger side, and a struggle that ended with Dr. Trolenberg falling from the vehicle and being shot multiple times. Vance, a Navy veteran, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and using a firearm in the commission of a felony. In a plea, Vance admitted he had asked the dentist for a large sum of money, was rebuffed, and then shot him; he later pleaded guilty to second-degree murder.
