William Smith Evans, a male resident of Chesapeake, Virginia, was found dead from a gunshot wound on July 1, 1977, at 1000 Great Bridge Boulevard. Authorities investigated in the days and weeks after his death but uncovered few leads, and the inquiry eventually went cold.

The Chesapeake Police Department now classifies the killing as a cold case homicide. No arrests have been made and no suspects have been publicly identified in connection with Evans’s death. His family and the community continue to live with the unanswered questions left by that July day.

Does anyone who lived in Chesapeake in 1977 or who has information about William Smith Evans or that location have anything to share with investigators?
