Shortly before 4:00 a.m. on October 17, 2010, gunfire outside a house party on the 4000 block of Scotia Drive in Chesapeake left Leo D. Lil L Askew, 23, dead at the scene. Askew, a 2005 graduate of Oscar Smith High School, was one of two people killed that night; Dimitri B. McNeil was also shot and killed, and three others were wounded in the same burst of gunfire.

Investigators described the deaths as caused by gunshot and the case later moved onto the department’s cold-case list at 4004 Scotia Drive. Coverage marking the second anniversary reported the shooter remained at large and did not name any arrest, suspect, or charges. Detectives have continued to seek tips, including anonymous reports, as the investigation remains unresolved.

If anyone has information about who fired on Scotia Drive that night or remembers the events leading up to the shooting, please share what is known with the Chesapeake Police.
