A Norfolk apartment on the 1200 block of West Ocean View Avenue became the scene of a Christmas Eve homicide. Shortly before 6 p.m. on December 24, 2015, police found 35-year-old Randy Earl James inside the residence with a gunshot wound. Medics pronounced him dead at the scene.

Investigators canvassed the neighborhood and asked the public for information, but in the days after the shooting the Norfolk Police Department had not released a suspect or motive.

Anyone who knew Randy, was in the West Ocean View area that evening, or has information that could help is asked to contact the Norfolk Crime Line.
