Cody Clarence Kelly, a 20-year-old from Hampton, died January 31, 2015, after being shot inside a Microtel Inn room on Operations Drive in Newport News, near Patrick Henry Mall. He was taken to a local hospital and later succumbed to his injuries. Friends and family held a vigil to remember him.

According to accounts, Kelly and a 19-year-old friend, Tyjuan Lamont Blockett, were reportedly playing with firearms and challenging each other to draw their weapons fastest. Witnesses said Blockett had been waving his gun and dancing just before the weapon discharged, striking Kelly in the upper torso. Blockett was taken into custody and charged with second-degree murder and two firearms offenses; the case was certified for presentation to a circuit court grand jury.
