In the early morning hours of November 7, 2011, 42-year-old Michelle Renee McClendon was found shot multiple times and pronounced dead in the street in the 500 block of Chautauqua Avenue in the Port Norfolk neighborhood of Portsmouth, Virginia, not far from her home. Neighbors reported being startled awake by gunfire; one ran outside and saw McClendon lying in the street. Her family, including her son Tyler and her mother Gloria Orrock, were left devastated as the case went cold for years with no arrests publicly identified.

In September 2023 the Portsmouth Police Department reassigned the file to a cold case investigator, who re-interviewed witnesses and identified a suspect, Cameron Lamar Parker, then incarcerated on an unrelated 2007 murder conviction in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. Witnesses said Parker shot McClendon multiple times because he believed she was snitching on him, and he was later charged in her killing.

Does anyone have information about Michelle’s movements that night or contacts who might help fill gaps in the timeline?
