Joel Green was 17 when he was shot in Norfolk, Virginia, on November 9, 2014. Police found the Black teenager with a gunshot wound in the 200 block of Hough Avenue; he was taken to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital and pronounced dead. The killing was classified as a homicide.

A multi-agency search involving the Norfolk Police Department and the Capital Area Task Force led investigators to Chesapeake, where 26-year-old William A. Hamlin Jr. was arrested after a brief standoff on December 2, 2014. Hamlin was charged with second-degree murder, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Separately, another 26-year-old, Michael Brown, was reported sentenced to nine years in January 2017 for his involvement in Green’s death; reports say the shooting followed a confrontation between Green and Brown.

Does anyone have additional information about what happened that night or about Hamlin’s case outcome?
