NORFOLK, Va. - A man is dead and another is fighting for his life after a shooting in Sunday afternoon, according to Norfolk police. Our News 3 reporter Kelsey Jones was at the scene Sunday gathering details.

Police say they found two men shot, one died before he could be taken to the hospital. The other victim may not survive. Leading to many unanswered questions News 3 is working to figure out. Such as, who pulled the trigger? what led up to the shooting? did the two men know each other?

Police said incident occurred around 4 p.m. in the 1000 block of Creamer Road, which sits near the intersection of Chesapeake Boulevard and East Bayview Boulevard.

Norfolk Commonwealth's Attorney Ramin Fatehi was also at the scene. Speaking with police and detectives, so I caught up with him to see if he knew any details about the investigation.

"This is an active investigation scene. Police are processing things and speaking to people. At this point I can see very little behind that" said Fatehi.

But what he did say is he's tired of the uptick in gun violence in Norfolk.

"I am frustrated, but we're going to do the best we can do in my office. When we get the cases to try them and hold people accountable" said Fatehi.

A lot of neighbors near Creamer road did not want to go on camera. But one man told our News 3 reporter Kelsey Jones heard about 5 to 6 gunshots. Jones watched police enter and leave a home for hours, checking the trash can outside and placing markers down near the home.

Neighbors nearby did not want to go on camera, so Jones reached out to businesses nearby like 7-Eleven, Zeroes, and Pizza Chef. The common theme from their employees were that they didn't see anything or know any information.
