Sixteen-year-old Daequan Gwynn disappeared from his Wythe neighborhood in Hampton, Virginia on the evening of April 20, 2017 after leaving home with two friends. The next morning, April 21, his body was found in an alley about five blocks from his house; the medical investigation determined he had suffered fatal gunshot wounds. Neighbors reported hearing two shots at about 9:25 p.m. the night he left, and someone later described seeing a male in a grey and black hoodie walking toward Shell Road after the shots, but no clear eyewitness account of the shooting has been reported.

By early 2018 no arrests had been announced and the case remained an active homicide investigation. Daequan’s mother publicly appealed for information, including from the friends who were with him that night. Does anyone in Hampton remember seeing Daequan or that hoodie-clad man near Shell Road on April 20, 2017?
