CHESAPEAKE, Va. — Police have identified the man killed on Thursday afternoon as 18-year-old Stanford Sharpe.
Police have identified 18-year-old Jayshawn Brown and 18-year-old Dylan Albert as the two men who were arrested after Chesapeake police said investigators found Sharpe dead in the back of a car late Thursday afternoon.
Brown and Albert have both been charged with obstruction of justice, reckless handling of a firearm causing serious injury and unlawfully discharging a firearm in an occupied building.
Just before 4:55 p.m., police said a caller reported "a loud pop and someone being drug out of a house" by multiple men in the 200 block of Candlelight Avenue. The caller also provided a vehicle description.
According to court documents, a neighbor who lives on Candlelight Drive heard a gunshot and saw a man being carried out by two other men into the back of a car.
The vehicle, a red ford, then fled the scene. Court documents say when police arrived, the front door was wide open and no one was home. That’s when police say they saw blood in several areas of the residence.
According to court documents, a neighbor told police the residence was vacant and people often hung out smoking weed and drinking.
Police eventually found the vehicle in front of a medical complex in the 700 block of Battlefield Boulevard North. Sharpe was found in the back seat shot to death.
Police executed a search warrant where they say they found 2 handgun magazines, one empty and one loaded. The gun magazine contained 9mm rounds. The casings were consistent with the one that fell from Jayshawn Brown’s lap as he got out of the car.
The situation is still under investigation.
There is no threat to the community, police said.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the Crime Line at 1-888-LOCK-U-UP.
