A night out in Virginia Beach on June 23, 2013, ended in fatal violence for 25-year-old Rashawn Dukes of North Chesterfield. An argument with another group outside the Guadalajara restaurant and club in Town Center escalated as the venue was closing. Around 1:30 a.m., someone produced a gun and opened fire near the stairwell of a parking garage; three people were struck. Two survived, but Rashawn Dukes was fatally wounded, and the restaurant closed permanently soon after the shooting.

No arrests or publicly identified suspects have been reported, and investigators say they lack substantial leads. Rashawn’s family has made public pleas for witnesses; his father believes a friend who was also shot that night has information but has not cooperated. Rashawn was the father of a nine-month-old son and is remembered by family as kind and family-oriented.

If anyone was in Town Center that night or has information about who fired the shots, please come forward to help bring answers to the family.
