Sam Chubby Edward Small, 52, was shot inside his Hampton, Virginia home on September 6, 2012, during a confrontation that began with words and escalated to gunfire. Police say officers found Small inside the residence in the first block of Pacific Drive with a single gunshot wound to his upper torso; he was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital with life-threatening injuries.

Small died from those injuries on September 14, 2012, at Riverside Regional Medical Center. Investigators described the shooting as occurring during an argument between Small and someone he knew, when that person produced a handgun and shot him. Hampton police identified 23-year-old Davon Pierre Brooks, last known to live in the 2000 block of Victoria Boulevard, as the suspect.

On February 21, 2013, Brooks was taken into custody in Petersburg by the Chesterfield Police Department and the U.S. Marshals Regional Fugitive Task Force on outstanding warrants charging homicide and multiple firearms offenses; he was held at the Hampton City Jail. Did anyone in the Hampton area know Small or have information about the events that night?
