On the evening of October 16, 2013, 21-year-old Jontaz Tarell Moore of Chesapeake was shot in the Poplar Halls neighborhood of Norfolk and later died from his wounds. He was found on Beacon Hill Circle near Halter Lane at about 8 p.m., conscious and able to speak to officers before being taken to a local hospital; he succumbed to his injuries the following morning. Neighbors reported hearing one or two shots, then saw one man running and Moore calling for help in the street. Investigators believe the shooting occurred during an attempted robbery.

Norfolk police quickly identified a suspect and issued warrants for 20-year-old Jalil J. Sharpe on charges of robbery, malicious wounding, and two counts of using a firearm in the commission of a felony. Sharpe, described as 6 feet 4 inches with a thin build, dreadlocks, and a goatee, was later located and taken into custody in Norfolk without incident.

If anyone in Poplar Halls that night remembers activity, vehicles, or people in the Beacon Hill Circle and Halter Lane area, please share what you know.
