Delante Eley, 23, was shot and killed in the 4000 block of Ketch Drive in Portsmouth, Virginia, on March 11, 2014. The shooting happened about 6:45 p.m., not far from the home he shared with his grandparents. Witnesses reported hearing gunfire and seeing a dark-colored car speed away; family said Eley was shot in the face.

Investigators later linked the killing to a series of confrontations between Eley and members of a gang. In March 2019, a federal indictment named two Portsmouth men, Rashaun Taylor (known as Diablo) and Timothy Sawyer-House (known as Trouble), in a racketeering conspiracy tied to the Nine Trey Gangsters. Court documents allege Taylor and Sawyer-House followed Eley to his home and that Taylor shot him.

Does anyone have information about Eley’s last hours or remember seeing a dark-colored car in the Churchland neighborhood that evening?
