In the summer of 2021, on the evening of June 23rd, the life of 22-year-old Jaivon R. Brittingham was tragically cut short in a shooting in Norfolk, Virginia. A father of two, known affectionately in his neighborhood as 'Memphis,' Brittingham was reportedly walking home from a nearby store when the incident occurred. The shooting took place at approximately 10:45 p.m.
in the 1500 block of Berkley Avenue Ext.
When Norfolk police arrived at the scene, they discovered two individuals with gunshot wounds. Jaivon Brittingham and a woman were both injured in the shooting. They were transported to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital for treatment. While the woman's injuries were not life-threatening, Brittingham ultimately succumbed to his wounds at the hospital.
In the wake of the shooting, the Norfolk Police Department initiated an investigation into the homicide. However, details regarding a potential motive or any person or persons of interest have not been publicly released. As of the latest available information, no arrests have been made in connection with the shooting, and no suspects have been formally named by law enforcement officials.
The lack of resolution in the case has been a source of ongoing pain for Brittingham's family. In their quest for justice, his loved ones have offered a $5,000 reward for any information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the individual or individuals responsible for his death. They continue to appeal to the community for assistance, hoping that someone will come forward with information that could help solve the case and bring a measure of peace to his grieving family.
