PORTSMOUTH, Va. – A homicide has left one man dead in Portsmouth, according to the Portsmouth Police Department.

The incident happened Friday, January 20, just before midnight, according to police. It happened near the 3500 block of Towne Point Road, not far from Royal Farms convenience store.

One witness who works at a nearby smoke shop in Towne Point Shoppes said she was working when it happened, and she believes it was the result of a fight near Towne Point Pub.

Angela Miller described hearing multiple shots. She said a friend then rushed in and asked if she knew CPR.

"I started doing chest compressions until the cops showed up, and when the cops showed up, I was like, 'My arms are getting tired!' So, he took over," described Miller. "But he wasn’t moving."

On Monday, police released the identity of the victim as 34-year-old Terrance Palmer Jr., of Florida.

There are no further details to release at this time.
