Vadale Lavon Adams Jr., 28, was shot on the evening of October 23, 2018, in the 1000 block of Mahone Avenue in Norfolk, Virginia. Dispatchers received a call about a gunshot disturbance and officers arriving about 7:48 p.m. found Adams with a significant gunshot wound. He was taken to a hospital but died of his injuries; the Norfolk Police Department classified the death as a homicide and opened an investigation.

Adams was known to family and friends as charismatic and easy-spirited. He graduated from Oscar F. Smith High School, studied Combination Welding at Tidewater Tech, had been a youth athlete in basketball and football, and had recently started a job with the City of Virginia Beach. Investigators did not release information about any suspects and no arrests have been announced.

Does anyone who knew Vadale or who was in the Mahone Avenue area that night have information that could help the investigation?
