In the early morning hours of November 4, 2018, the life of 33-year-old Don Corrie Parham was tragically cut short in Portsmouth, Virginia. Parham, a male resident of the city, was discovered by police around 1:30 a.m. in the 3100 block of Brighton Street, suffering from a gunshot wound to his upper body. Despite the prompt response from law enforcement, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Portsmouth Police Department immediately launched a homicide investigation into Parham's
death. In an effort to gather information and support a community shaken by the violence, the department organized a R.E.S.E.T. walk in the neighborhood. This initiative aimed to encourage residents to come forward with any details that might lead to a breakthrough in the case.
However, the investigation was met with challenges from the outset, as there was no immediate information available about a potential suspect or suspects. In the days, weeks, and months that followed, the case remained open, but no arrests were made public. The circumstances surrounding Don Corrie Parham's shooting and the identity of the individual or individuals responsible remain unknown. The police have continued to appeal to the public for any information that could bring closure to his family and see justice served. As of the latest available information, no suspects have been identified or taken into custody in connection with his murder.
