PORTSMOUTH, Va. — Police are investigating a shooting that killed at 19-year-old man on Monday night.
Around 10:37 p.m., officers responded to the 4700 block of Haywood Drive for a reported gunshot wound.
When officers arrived, they found an adult male, now identified as 19-year-old Aveyon Jordan, with a gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
This is an ongoing investigation. There was no suspect information as of March 12.
Portsmouth City Council member De'Andre Barnes took to Facebook to express his sadness. He said his son and Jordan played sports together.
“He’s seen so many kids that he went to school with, played sports with, get shot and killed din the last couple years," said Barnes. "This seems to be a trend that we want to stop in Portsmouth, we need to stop, but we have to make sure we give our children the opportunities and give them something to do so that these things don’t happen."
Police ask that anyone who may have information about the shooting call the Portsmouth Police Investigations Bureau at (757) 393-8536 or the Crime Line at 1-888-LOCK-U-UP.
