On August 29, 2015, the bodies of 16-year-old Demonte Chambers and 20-year-old Nickeia Hunter were found inside Chambers’ home on Wickham Avenue in Newport News, Virginia. An early-evening caller reported seeing one of the victims inside the residence; officers who entered the home discovered both deceased. Medical examiners determined both died of gunshot wounds to the head. Authorities ruled Hunter’s death a homicide; the manner of Chambers’ death was initially deferred while investigators reviewed the circumstances. Police said they did not believe the attack was random.

Investigators conducted a follow-up inquiry in the days and weeks afterward but released few details publicly. No suspects have been identified and no arrests were announced, and the matter is now described as cold. If anyone knew Demonte Chambers or has information that could help clarify what happened on Wickham Avenue, please come forward.
