Isaac Allen Chappell, 28, was shot and killed in a convenience store parking lot in Hampton, Virginia, on the morning of Wednesday, January 16, 2019. Chappell had just bought a piece of candy inside Roy’s Quick Service II on Shell Road when he left the store and encountered 35-year-old Van Julian Overby III. A verbal disagreement escalated and Overby produced a firearm and shot Chappell; emergency responders pronounced Chappell dead at the scene.

Hampton Police, with help from the Newport News Police Department, identified Overby as the suspect and arrested him the next day without incident. He was charged with murder, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony; the case was certified to a grand jury. Surveillance footage from the store captured the altercation, and three nearby schools were placed on a modified lockdown while police processed the scene.

Did anyone in the area see the argument or have additional information about what led up to the shooting?
