NORFOLK, Va. — Police continue to investigate after a triple shooting took the life of one man, and injured two others.

The man, 20-year-old Davrion D. King, was taken to the hospital after the shooting, where he later died from his injuries.

A 21-year-old man was also found suffering from a gunshot wound, and was taken to the hospital and is expected to survive.

A woman suffered a graze wound and did not need treatment, according to Norfolk police.

Around 12:30 a.m. on Sunday, officers responded to the 4700 block of Killam Avenue for the report of a gunshot victim.

When police arrived, they found King suffering from a gunshot wound.

While Killam Avenue is close to ODU's campus, Norfolk Police are handling the investigation.

However, Chief Garett Shelton says his department has been patrolling the area because it's where some students, faculty and staff live off campus.

After shots were fired many neighbors turned to a mobile app to report what they heard, some of them feeling uneasy.

According to crime mapping.com from November 2022 to now there were two homicides, one on 26th street on May 11th and Sunday’s homicide.

Still campus Police Chief Shelton says these occurrences aren't very frequent this close to campus.

"I can’t answer Norfolk as a whole we are certainly more aware that we need to pay more attention to the area around our campus and keep everything as safe as we can. I can’t specifically answer that it’s more dangerous than any other area," says Shelton.

This is an ongoing investigation.
