Ronald Calloway was found shot to death on August 1, 1980, near Route 17 about seven-tenths of a mile from Route 104 in Chesapeake, Virginia. The fatal gunshot ended his life on that summer day and began an investigation that produced few public leads.

Authorities did not announce suspects or make immediate arrests, and the case grew cold. The Chesapeake Police Department still lists the killing as an unsolved homicide and continues to review cold cases in hopes new information or forensic advances will help. The circumstances that led to Calloway’s death remain unknown.

If anyone knew Ronald Calloway, saw a vehicle or person near Route 17 on or around August 1, 1980, or has other information, please contact the Chesapeake Police Department.
