Police say they found the man dead in his home Sunday afternoon after concerned neighbors alerted emergency dispatchers about a home where a door had been left open.
According to Corporal Melinda Wray with Norfolk Police, neighbors first called police shortly after 1:20 p.m. about the open door in the 1100 block of Pascal Place.
When they arrived to the 'suspicious situation,' they found a man dead inside the home.
The victim's family members say he is 35-year-old David Jackson. The medical examiner says he died from a gunshot wound to the head.
Jackson's mother couldn't get in touch with him for a couple of days, so she got on a bus from New York. She arrived yesterday and found police at his house.
She says Jackson previously served in the Navy and worked as a contractor.
Detectives classified this incident as an 'undetermined death under possible suspicious circumstances.' However, the incident was upgraded to an active homicide case on Monday.
Police have not provided a description of the suspect at this time.
