CHESAPEAKE, Va. — A teen boy is dead and two men are injured following a shooting in Chesapeake, according to police.

On Sunday, Jan. 21 just after 7:30 p.m., police went to the 1300 block of MacDonald Rd., just off Indian River Road. There, they say they found three people who had been shot: a 15-year-old boy and two men. They were all taken to the hospital, police say.

The 15-year-old boy died at the hospital from his injuries. One of the men is seriously injured, and the other is expected to survive.

News 3's Kelsey Jones went to the scene the next morning and spoke with a man who lives in the area. He said the sound of gunshots had him shaken up.

“I turned the TV down and was like, ‘That sounds like gunshots,'" he told Kelsey. "I went outside... [I] started to hear somebody hollering and moaning... People were screaming."

The incident remains under investigation, and it is unclear what caused the shooting.

Police are encouraging anyone with information to leave an anonymous tip with the Crime Line by calling 1-888-LOCK-U-UP or visiting P3TIPS.com.
