SUFFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — A 63-year-old man was shot and killed inside a Pine Street residence Monday evening in Suffolk, police said.
Police got a call around 9:15 p.m. for a person suffering a gunshot wound inside a home in the 100 block of Pine Street, between West Washington Street and Market Street, less than a half-mile from Suffolk Police headquarters and North Main Street.
When officers arrived, they found the man suffering from a single gunshot wound, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
On Wednesday, Jan. 3, police identified the 63-year-old man as Sherman Lee Perry of Suffolk.
A neighbor WAVY spoke with Tuesday morning said he heard one gunshot.
“Another neighbor says he heard like one shot and a couple more after that. Then we heard that he had got shot outside the window or something like that. I saw them [police] bringing somebody out on the stretcher, but they was covered up. And then my sister had heard that he had got killed. I saw him the day before yesterday putting clothes in his car,” said Tyrese Pharrell.
Police said they have no suspect information at this time and are continuing their investigation.
Anyone with information about this incident should contact the Crime Line at 1-888-LOCK-U-UP.
Police responded to the 200 block of Pine Street earlier Monday, around 4:26 a.m., and found a man with a gunshot wound to the leg. The man said he had been shot about a mile away, in the 800 block of White Marsh Road, near U.S. Route 13 in Suffolk.
Suffolk Police shot a 15-year-old girl who they said had two weapons, during an altercation last Saturday on Oakglen Drive. Her mother said she was having mental health issues at the time.
