On March 9, 2019, a dispute in a Newport News rooming house on 55th Street ended with the shooting death of 30-year-old Quintez Montrel Moore. Officers say the altercation involved Moore and a 61-year-old female resident of the same home and occurred at about 2:00 p.m. Moore was found dead inside the residence when police arrived.

Police detained the woman for questioning and later released her without filing immediate charges. The preliminary investigation suggested the woman may have acted in self-defense, but authorities said the Commonwealth’s Attorney would make the final determination after autopsy results and completion of interviews.

The shooting left Moore’s family and the community awaiting the legal review and autopsy conclusions for closure. Does anyone have information about Moore, the house on 55th Street, or the events that afternoon?
