In the early hours of April 2, 2016, the life of 30-year-old Travis William Stone was tragically cut short in Norfolk, Virginia. Gunshots shattered the predawn quiet in the 800 block of East Princess Anne Road, prompting multiple calls to the police shortly after 12:35 a.m. When officers arrived at the scene, they found Mr. Stone suffering from a gunshot wound.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The violence of that morning also left two other victims, a pair of 15-year-old boys, with gunshot wounds. Both teenagers were transported to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital for medical attention and were expected to recover from their injuries. In the immediate aftermath, details about what led to the shooting were scarce, and authorities did not release any information about a potential suspect or suspects.
The investigation into the death of Travis William Stone was launched by the Norfolk Police Department, who urged anyone with information to come forward and contact the Norfolk Crime Line. Despite the initial appeal for public assistance, there have been no subsequent public announcements regarding any arrests made or suspects identified in connection with the homicide. The case, as it appears from available online sources, remains an unsolved chapter in the city's history, leaving a family and community to mourn the loss of a young man.
