On the evening of December 28, 2015, 28-year-old Corey Jason Achstein was shot by a Suffolk police officer after multiple calls reported a white man chasing three juveniles with a gun in the 300 block of Causey Avenue. Officers James Babor and Cheryl Abrigo encountered Achstein; based on his actions and for safety reasons, one officer fired a single shot that struck him. A handgun was recovered near Achstein but was later identified as a realistic-looking pneumatic BB gun. Achstein was treated at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital and later died of his injuries.

Officer Babor, an eight-year veteran, was confirmed as the officer who fired the shot; he had been involved in a previous fatal shooting in 2010 that was deemed justified. Both officers were placed on administrative leave while criminal and internal investigations proceeded. In May of the following year prosecutors declined to file charges, and in October 2016 Achstein’s mother filed an $8 million wrongful death lawsuit alleging deadly force was unnecessary and nonlethal options were not attempted.

Does anyone have information about the events on Causey Avenue that night or knew Corey Achstein?
