In the late afternoon of a summer day in Norfolk, Virginia, tragedy struck inside a residence on Fenner Street, leaving a community shaken and families grieving. On August 18, 2022, police responded to a report of a shooting and discovered a grim scene. Among the victims was Calvin L. Wood, a 44-year-old male, who, along with two other men, was pronounced dead at the scene from gunshot wounds.
Two other individuals, a man and a woman, were also found with gunshot wounds but were transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
In the immediate aftermath, the Norfolk Police Department began a homicide investigation into the deaths of Calvin L. Wood, Jarred T. Davis, 35, and Quinton O. Sessoms, 43. Preliminary investigations revealed that all individuals involved in the shooting were acquainted with one another, suggesting the incident was not a random act of violence. Wood's daughter later indicated that the shooting may have been the culmination of an escalating argument that involved family members. She described her father as a non-violent person who was a normal working man, and she pleaded for justice in his name.
As investigators worked to piece together the events that led to the triple homicide, the police department appealed to the public for any information that might lead to an understanding of what transpired inside the Fenner Street home. To date, specific details about what led to the deadly altercation have not been publicly released. There have been no announcements regarding the identification of any suspects or any arrests made in connection with the deaths of Calvin L. Wood and the other two victims. The case remains an open and ongoing investigation, leaving a family to mourn their loss while they await answers and the justice they seek.
