SUFFOLK, Va. - Police are investigating after they say 24-year-old Delyna Hall was shot and killed early Sunday morning on Nansemond Parkway.
"There were cops all over there," said Robert Blackman, a concerned resident.
Police flooded the 1000 block of Nansemond Parkway just before 5 a.m. Sunday, after finding Hall dead from gunshot wounds. Neighbors like Blackman say they are shocked to hear the news.
"It's normally quiet around here, we don't get that kind of drama around here," said Blackman.
"To hear that there was this violence act just down the road it's a little surprising," said Jena Rice, a concerned resident.
Rice lives a few doors down from where it happened. Although she didn't hear gunshots ring or witness the crime, it has her on high alert.
"I'm just going to be a little more cautious about what's going on around and I've been trying to do that anyway. I keep an eye on what seems out of the norm" said Rice.
On Tuesday, 31-year-old John Harris turned himself into the police.
Harris is charged with:
- 2nd Degree Murder
- Armed Burglary
- Malicious wounding
- Possession of a Firearm by Convicted Felon
- Maliciously Shoot/Stab with intent to kill
Police say the shooting took place at the home of the victim where Harris unlawfully entered.
Hall and Harris were formerly in a relationship together, according to authorities.
He has been transported to Western Tidewater Regional Jail and is currently being held without bond.
"Somebody to do something like that is pretty evil," said Rice.
Our News 3 reporter Kelsey Jones spoke with a few men at the 7-Eleven on Nansemond who tell me they saw police canvassing the area to seek surveillance footage.
This is an active investigation. Police say anyone with information should call the Suffolk Crime Line at 1-888-LOCK-U-UP.
