On the morning of November 10, 2018, two men were killed and a third wounded after a shooting at a residence in the 900 block of North King Street in Hampton, Virginia. Twenty-four-year-old Eric Caesar Witherspoon Jr., a Black male from Newport News, was taken to Sentara Careplex Hospital about 4:53 a.m. with a gunshot wound and later died; his cause of death was listed as a gunshot wound to his left leg. A second victim, 27-year-old Treviyon Lamonta Hill of Smithfield, was found at the North King Street scene and pronounced dead there. A third man who had been shot was treated and released from hospital care.

Police initially treated the incidents as separate homicides but later determined that Witherspoon, Hill, and the injured man had all been shot at the North King Street location. On the same day Hampton police arrested 29-year-old Jazz Kwame Grant of Hampton and charged him with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon; he remained in custody at the Hampton City Jail. Investigators described the inquiry as active and asked the public for information; motive and specific circumstances have not been released and no further arrests have been announced.

Did anyone in the community have information about the North King Street shooting or the people involved?
