On a Friday evening in Hampton, Virginia, the lives of two young men were tragically cut short. Twenty-three-year-old Daquan Desimond Berkeley, a male from Newport News, was found inside a parked car in the first block of Glascow Way. Alongside him was 27-year-old Rasheed Depri Saunders of Hampton. Both men were unresponsive, having sustained multiple gunshot wounds.
The discovery was made shortly after 7:30 p.m. When police officers arrived at the scene, they found a grim situation.
One of the men was pronounced dead at the scene. The other, despite being rushed to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries, succumbed to his wounds and was later pronounced dead.
In the initial stages of the investigation, the Hampton Police Division did not release any information regarding a potential suspect or suspects in the double homicide. Law enforcement officials appealed to the public for any information that could lead to an understanding of the events that transpired and bring those responsible to justice. The investigation into the deaths of Daquan Desimond Berkeley and Rasheed Depri Saunders remains without a publicly identified suspect or any announced arrests in connection with the shooting. The case, like many others, relies on the hope that new information will emerge, shedding light on the circumstances of that fatal evening.
