In the spring of 2012, the life of Carl Otto Stallings Jr., a 39-year-old man from Norfolk, Virginia, was tragically cut short. On April 6th, he was found inside a residence in the 2100 block of Ballentine Boulevard, the victim of a fatal gunshot wound. His death was part of a double homicide, as another man, Gregory Fox, was also discovered deceased at the scene from similar injuries.
Born on March 2, 1973, in Norfolk, Stallings was a graduate of Lake Taylor High School and had
continued his education at Tidewater Community College and Tidewater Tech. He was employed by the Dominion Candy Factory. He was a husband to Sharmaine Stallings and a father to his son, Anthony Ebarb. His passing left a void in the lives of his parents, Carl Stallings Sr. and Rita J. Davis, as well as his siblings and a host of other relatives and friends.
The investigation into the murders of Carl Otto Stallings Jr. and Gregory Fox was launched by the Norfolk Police Department. However, the case proved to be a challenging one. In the immediate aftermath of the discovery, authorities did not release any information about potential suspects or a motive for the killings. As time passed, the investigation remained open, but no arrests were made in connection with the double homicide.
Years have gone by, and the case has grown cold, leaving the families of both victims without a sense of closure or justice. The community was left to mourn the loss of two of its own, with the circumstances surrounding their deaths remaining a somber mystery. To date, there have been no significant updates regarding suspects or arrests in the murders of Carl Otto Stallings Jr. and Gregory Fox, and their deaths continue to be an unsolved crime.
