Angel Luis Alicea III was 28 when he was shot multiple times and killed at the intersection of Crutchfield Drive and Ruston Drive in the Denbigh section of Newport News, Virginia, on August 5, 2014. Witnesses reported hearing as many as a dozen gunshots. First responders found him in critical condition; a 19-year-old woman who reached him applied pressure to his wounds and held his hand until paramedics arrived, but he later died.

The Newport News Police Department opened a homicide investigation and canvassed the area. Alicea’s family publicly appealed for information; his grandmother described the pain of knowing he had been left on the ground and the community held a vigil at the scene the next night. As of the most recent public reports, no arrests or suspects have been publicly identified and the case has gone cold.

If anyone knew Angel, saw activity in the Denbigh area that night, or has information that could help the investigation, please contact the Newport News Police Department.
