On December 31, 2013, a dispute over bicycle parts at a Hampton skate park escalated into a deadly shooting that killed two young men. Kenneth Jake Wilson, 20, a 2011 Hampton High School graduate working as a first-year apprentice at an electric company and newly signed to lease with his friend Donivan K. Walker Jr., 21, was shot and killed during the confrontation. Reports say the shooter, 16-year-old Jordan Charity at the time, armed himself with a shotgun, went to the park with the intent to kill and fired at close range, fatally striking Walker three times and Wilson twice.

After the shooting Charity fled on a moped, carjacked a woman and led police on a chase before being apprehended. Charity later pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of using a gun during the commission of a felony; four other charges were withdrawn as part of the plea. The court imposed a 168-year prison sentence, with the judge citing the need for accountability and the danger posed to society.

Did anyone know Kenneth or remember him from Hampton High School or the local skate scene who can add context about him or that day?
