Shaolin Chandam, 25, was shot and killed outside his residence in the LaSalle Gardens area of Hampton, Virginia, on August 25, 2015. Originally from Manipur, India, Chandam had come to the United States in 2010 for higher education and was working for a financial consulting firm after completing his studies. He was found with multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Hampton Police say the shooting began after a verbal altercation that escalated. Investigators identified a suspect, 25-year-old Keenan Palmer, reported to be Chandam’s roommate; Palmer fled the scene and was located in Suffolk a few days later. Palmer was arrested and charged with one count of murder and one count of using a firearm in the commission of a felony.
