During a press conference Tuesday, Hampton Police Chief Mark Talbot said they received multiple 911 calls about shots being fired around 10:50 p.m. on Nov. 18.
Police said the three teenagers were in the same vehicle when multiple people fired several times into the vehicle on Nickerson Boulevard near Bridgeport Apartments.
When officers got to the scene, they found a 14-year-old boy who had been shot to death. They found him on the road.
One mile away on Silver Isle Boulevard, they found another victim from the same shooting, an 18-year-old Shaun Fauntleroy, from Newport News. He was pronounced dead at that location. He was just two days shy of his 19th birthday.
A couple of hours later police say they received a call from a Newport News mother, who said her 16-year-old son was also shot in the same incident. He survived.
"These events are tragic," said Chief Talbot. "They are truly heartbreaking."
He said the department is working relentlessly to provide justice. Talbot asked witnesses to contact police, so the people responsible are caught.
