NEWPORT NEWS, Va. - The Newport News Police Department said there have been 93 shootings so far in 2022.

Antone Artis was one of the 93 shot. He was fatally shot on Windy Way on Nov. 10.

“He was just too good and too young to be gone,” said Cornelius Huggins, a loved one of Artis.

Artis celebrated his 21st birthday on Nov. 6. He leaves behind two children.

Police told News 3 Artis' death is still under investigation. They would not comment on suspect information, motive or other specifics of the case.

“He should still be here, whether he was wrong, they got places for that, and it’s not a cemetery,” said Huggins.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the police.
