NORFOLK, Va. - Norfolk Police have charged a man in connection with Friday afternoon’s shooting at 2338 E. Princess Anne Road that left another man dead.

Around 3:10 p.m. police responded to the area for a report of a gunshot victim. When officers arrived on scene, they found a man suffering from a life-threatening gunshot wound.

The man, who police identified as 27-year-old Dante G. Southerland of Virginia Beach, was taken to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital, where he later died from his injuries.
