NORFOLK, Va. — Police have arrested two men and one woman in connection with a shooting on Lindenwood Avenue that left one man dead and another injured.
On Dec. 20 just after 8 p.m., police were called to 826 Lindenwood Avenue for the report of a gunshot victim, and when officers arrived they found a man suffering from a life-threatening gunshot wound.
The man, now identified as 84-year-old James R. Carter, was taken to the hospital where he died from his injuries.
A short time later, officers were notified that another man had arrived at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital suffering from a gunshot wound that was considered non-life-threatening, and detectives determined the two incidents were related.

According to police, the preliminary investigation revealed that there was a dispute happening outside of the store that led to the shooting that killed Carter and injured the other man.
As a result of their investigation, detectives have charged three people in connection to the homicide.
Police have charged 42-year-old Dennis C. Hisle with second degree murder, malicious wounding and two counts of use of a firearm.
Police also charged 40-year-old Bruce G. Hisle with possession of a firearm by a felon and possession of ammunition by a felon, and charged 41-year-old Tamika Credle with accessory after the fact.
Dennis Hisle, Bruce Hisle and Credle are all being held in Norfolk City Jail.
"It's good that justice is served. It softens the blow a little so now I guess we can start the grieving process. That's the crucial part. I'm gad they apprehended those guys," said Dwayner Cater, James's son.
Court documents reveal more information about the three arrested, including that Bruce Hisle was in the front seat of the van where the gun was found.
The records say the gun was a semi-automatic and bullets in it were the same kind as casings found at the scene.
While for Credle, court documents say she was the get-away-driver. She said she was at the scene, but then said she did not realize the shooting involved passengers in her car and she didn't know the gun was in her glove box, according to the records.
On Friday, people continued to come to the store to pay their respects.
"A stray bullet - I wish I could've taken it instead of him," said Antonio Hodges, who has known Carter for decades.
"We need somebody to step up now," said Hodges of the void left by Carter's death.
Norfolk police posted a tribute to Carter on their Facebook, calling him a community mentor and bright beacon of Lindenwood.
