In the early morning of April 25, 2017, 26-year-old Tyrone Lee Bailey of Chesapeake was found with a gunshot wound at the Magnolia Lakes Trailer Park in the 1100 block of Nansemond Parkway in Suffolk. Emergency crews responded to a dispatch call at 6:01 a.m.; Bailey was alive when responders left but died en route to the hospital.

Investigators quickly treated the shooting as a domestic-related incident and identified 28-year-old Troyonne Markest Ellise, also of Chesapeake, as the suspect. Ellise was arrested and charged with second-degree murder, armed burglary, and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and was held without bond at the Western Tidewater Regional Jail.

When Ellise’s murder trial began in May 2018 it was abruptly stopped after a Deputy Commonwealth’s Attorney asked a question that was ruled inappropriate, prompting a defense motion for mistrial that the judge granted. The legal proceeding was left unresolved at that point. Does anyone have information about Tyrone’s last hours or the people involved at Magnolia Lakes Trailer Park?
