On May 15, 2023, Benita J. Mozelle, 42, was shot and killed in the 400 block of Alleghany Road in Hampton, Virginia. Police responded around 1 a.m. and found Mozelle and 26-year-old Troy L. James both suffering from gunshot wounds; medics pronounced them dead at the scene. Investigators say a verbal argument escalated into a physical fight, and Mozelle had attempted to intervene and de-escalate before a firearm was discharged, striking both her and James.

Two months later, in mid-July, Hampton police, with assistance from the U.S. Marshals Service, arrested 35-year-old Phillip Lee Morris in connection with the shooting. He was charged with two counts of second-degree murder, two counts of malicious wounding, robbery causing death, four counts of use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and discharging a firearm within 1,000 feet of a school. The investigation remains ongoing.

Did anyone in the Hampton area see or hear anything on Alleghany Road that night that could help clarify what happened?
