Michael Stanley, 26, was found fatally shot inside an apartment in the 600 block of 18th Street in Newport News, Virginia, on the afternoon of July 18, 2017. Officers had been responding to a welfare check when they discovered him with a gunshot wound. What began as a welfare call quickly became a homicide investigation after detectives determined a confrontation inside the residence escalated to deadly violence.

Investigators identified a suspect and arrested Nehemiah Clauden-Jaquan Williams, who was charged with first-degree murder. The case proceeded to trial, where the prosecution presented evidence linking Williams to the shooting. A judge later sentenced Williams to 12 years in prison for the conviction.

If anyone knew Michael, was present at the 600 block of 18th Street that day, or has information about the confrontation that led to his death, please come forward with tips.
