Keshmario Leetrell Middleton was 19 when he was shot and killed in the early morning hours of a Saturday in July 2014. Police found him fatally wounded in the 700 block of Barrison Way in the Lake Edward section of Virginia Beach. No motive was released and investigators had not publicly identified a suspect in his killing.

His death came hours after another nearby shooting that weekend on Margate Avenue, where 25-year-old James Earl Jones was killed and another man wounded; detectives later arrested a suspect in that separate case. Authorities said they were searching for additional suspects in both incidents and had not determined whether the two homicides were connected.

The investigation into Middleton’s death remains open and his family continues to seek answers. If anyone has information about what happened on Barrison Way that night, please share it with the Virginia Beach Police.
