HAMPTON. Va. – Police need your help to identify suspects in relation to a shooting that happened Saturday.

Around 10:30 p.m., police dispatchers got a call about shots fired in the area of the Century Plaza apartment complex located in the 100 block of Lassiter Drive.

Police found Daiquan Kionte Burrell, a 23-year-old Newport News man, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
