Michael Temple, 40, of Elizabeth City, North Carolina, was shot and killed on April 22, 2012, in Chesapeake, Virginia, during a domestic dispute that escalated into a hostage situation. Police responded to reports of a shooting in the early morning; prosecutors say the attacker was 44-year-old Charles Collins of Pollocksville, North Carolina, who was motivated by issues involving his ex-girlfriend. Temple was the ex-girlfriend’s current boyfriend and was killed inside the Chesapeake home.

Nineteen-year-old Derwin DJ Watts II of Chesapeake, the ex-girlfriend’s son, was also shot while reportedly trying to protect his mother. He escaped the house but later died at a local hospital. After negotiations failed, a police SWAT team entered the residence and found Collins holding two people hostage; an officer shot Collins once in the head and he was taken to a hospital for treatment.

Collins was charged with two counts of first-degree murder, five counts of abduction and multiple weapons charges; he later pleaded guilty to the charges to avoid a possible death sentence. If anyone knew Michael Temple, Derwin Watts, or has information about the incident, please share what you know.
