In the summer of 2016, the life of 25-year-old Blake Scott, a male resident of Norfolk, Virginia, was tragically cut short. On the evening of June 12th, police were called to the 500 block of Timothy Avenue where they found Scott suffering from a gunshot wound. He was rushed to a nearby hospital but ultimately succumbed to his injuries.
The investigation into the homicide quickly led Norfolk Police Department detectives to identify a suspect.
Two days after the fatal shooting, on June 14, 2016, authorities announced the arrest of 26-year-old Dale London. He was taken into custody without incident and subsequently charged with second-degree murder and the use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. At the time of his arrest, London was held in the Norfolk City Jail without bond. The motive for the shooting was not publicly released by law enforcement as the case was pending litigation.
Further details regarding the progression of the case against Dale London, including specifics of the trial and the final verdict, are not available in the online sources covering the immediate aftermath of the incident. The initial reports confirmed the charges laid against him, but information on a conviction or any subsequent legal proceedings could not be found.
