In the late hours of a Saturday night in Norfolk, Virginia, the life of 30-year-old David Burton was tragically cut short. On February 12, 2022, in the Huntersville neighborhood, a call reporting a gunshot victim on the 800 block of B Avenue came into dispatch around 10:30 p.m. First responders arrived at the scene to find David Burton suffering from gunshot wounds.
Despite their efforts, he was pronounced deceased at the scene.
David, known affectionately as “Boogie,” was a Norfolk native and a graduate of Granby High School. He was a manager at All-Star Sports Clothing Company and was known for his vibrant personality, love for dancing, and being the life of the party. He was a father to two daughters and is remembered by his family and friends as a joker who always had words of encouragement for others.
The Norfolk Police Department promptly launched a homicide investigation into the shooting. As of the latest available information, the investigation remains ongoing. No arrests have been made in connection with David Burton's death, and no suspects have been publicly identified by the authorities. Investigators have not released specific details about the circumstances that led to the shooting.
The community has been urged to come forward with any information that might aid in the investigation. The Norfolk Crime Line has been designated as the point of contact for any potential tips that could lead to a breakthrough in the case. The lack of resolution has left many questions unanswered for his family and the wider community who continue to hope for justice.
