In the early morning hours of September 8, 2012, the life of 32-year-old Larry 'LB' Andrews Jr. was tragically cut short in Newport News, Virginia. Police responded to a call around 2:30 AM and discovered Andrews in a parking lot on the 300 block of Circuit Lane, suffering from critical gunshot wounds. He was rushed to a local hospital but was pronounced dead upon arrival. Born on December 17, 1979, at Langley Air Force Base, Larry was known for his vibrant personality and was a cherished son to Terasa and Larry Andrews Sr.
The Newport News Police Department's homicide detectives took charge of the investigation into the male victim's death. From the outset, the case proved to be challenging for law enforcement. Investigators were faced with a lack of eyewitnesses and a scarcity of concrete leads, making it difficult to identify any suspects or establish a motive for the shooting. The circumstances surrounding the incident remained unclear to the public as the investigation unfolded.
In the years following the shooting, no arrests have been made, and no significant developments in the case have been publicly reported. The case remains an open and active investigation. Law enforcement officials have periodically appealed to the public for any information that might lead to a breakthrough in solving the crime. The family of Larry Andrews Jr. and the wider Newport News community continue to await answers and hope for justice to be served in his untimely death.
