On the evening of November 15, 2016, gunfire rang out at Colonial Landing apartments, 2121 Kecoughtan Road in Hampton, Virginia. Inside apartment 91B, 60-year-old Gregory Lee Lewis was found on the floor with a gunshot wound to his chest and was pronounced dead at the scene despite medics’ efforts.

Lewis was a veteran who had been battling cancer and had outlived his initial prognosis. Neighbors and friends remembered him as a positive presence in the complex. Witnesses reported seeing an unidentified male in a red hoodie running from the area shortly after the shooting, but that lead did not immediately produce an arrest. The motive remains unclear and no arrests have been announced; the investigation is active.

If anyone remembers seeing a person in a red hoodie near 2121 Kecoughtan Road on the night of November 15, 2016, or has other information, please contact the Hampton Police Division.
