Victor Green

Victor L. Green, a 36-year-old Black man born and raised in Portsmouth, Virginia, was remembered by loved ones for his life and connections in the community where he grew up. Born to Brenda Dorn and Fernando "Tony" Acevedo, Victor was part of a larger family, and his death left a void for many. He attended Deep Creek High School and Western Branch High School. Friends and family recalled him as a "kool, funny, good-hearted" person who was considered the "best neighbor ever." His life was celebrated at a service at J.T. Fisher Funeral Services Chapel before he was laid to rest at Roosevelt Memorial Park Cemetery.

On the afternoon of September 13, 2021, Green's life was cut short by gunfire. At approximately 5:18 p.m., police were called to the 600 block of Jefferson Street in the Southside Gardens apartment complex for a report of a gunshot victim. When officers arrived, they found Victor Green inside a gray Infiniti, suffering from a fatal gunshot wound. The scene was particularly distressing because a young child was also inside the car at the time of the shooting. Police confirmed the child was not physically injured, but their presence underscored the tragedy of the violence.

The Portsmouth Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division launched a homicide investigation, working to piece together the events that led to the shooting. Detectives canvassed the area for witnesses and any available surveillance footage, trying to understand the motive and sequence of events that ended with Green’s death. The neighborhood, a residential area of Portsmouth, was shaken by the violent and public nature of the killing.

A few days after the homicide, investigators announced a development in the case. They publicly identified a person of interest: 20-year-old Tyqwon Eric Wolfe. In their statement, police confirmed that detectives had already located Wolfe and had spoken with him. This announcement suggested that the investigation was focusing on a particular individual who might have crucial information about the shooting, whether as a witness or for some other connection to the crime. However, authorities did not release any further details about what was said or what evidence pointed them toward Wolfe.

Following the identification of Wolfe as a person of interest, public updates on the investigation became scarce. No announcements of an arrest or formal charges related to Victor Green's murder have been made in the years since his death. The case remains a painful and unresolved chapter for his family and the Portsmouth community. While investigators appeared to have a specific focus early on, the trail of information available to the public has since gone cold.

As of late 2024, the investigation into Victor Green's homicide is still considered ongoing by the Portsmouth Police Department, but no resolution has been announced. His loved ones continue to mourn their loss, remembering a man who was taken from them suddenly and violently. The questions of who was responsible for the gunfire that day on Jefferson Street and why it happened remain unanswered. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the authorities, as the search for justice for Victor Green continues.
