On April 16, 2019, at about 7:26 p.m., police in Newport News responded to reports of gunfire in the 400 block of Goose Circle and found 18-year-old high school senior Kahli Rahquan Curry suffering from a gunshot wound. Medics pronounced him dead at the scene.

The investigation extended into the following year. On December 3, 2020, 20-year-old Adrian Elijah Pierce was arrested and charged with second-degree murder, maliciously shooting into an occupied building, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He was later tried and a jury convicted him of second-degree murder, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and misdemeanor destruction of property. An appeal challenging witness credibility and arguing the Commonwealth had not proved Pierce fired the shot was filed and the convictions were affirmed on appeal.

If anyone knew Kahli or has information about the events on Goose Circle that evening, please share what you know.
