On the evening of September 22, 2015, 17-year-old Raheem J. White was shot and killed in the 6100 block of Chesapeake Boulevard in Norfolk, Virginia. Raheem, a senior at Norview High School who planned to graduate in 2016, had been with relatives and friends after a trip to a store when gunfire erupted around 8:00 p.m. He was found lying face down, transported to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital, and pronounced dead.

Norfolk police identified 18-year-old Tyquon Feimster as a suspect and obtained warrants charging him with second-degree murder and use of a firearm in a felony. Feimster was arrested by the Norfolk Police Fugitive Squad. Family members said they and Raheem did not know Feimster; Raheem’s cousins described him as loving and funny and not someone who condoned violence.

At trial the prosecution’s key witness was a close friend of Raheem who said they saw the shooting, but inconsistencies in that testimony weakened the case. Feimster’s defense offered an alibi supported by three witnesses; their accounts also had inconsistencies. In April 2017 the jury acquitted Feimster, leaving Raheem’s homicide unsolved and his family still seeking answers.

Did anyone in the Norfolk area see or hear anything relevant that night on Chesapeake Boulevard?
