On the afternoon of August 20, 2020, gunfire rang out on the 1300 block of Central Avenue in Hopewell, Virginia. When officers arrived they found two people shot: 39-year-old Elisa Scott and a man identified as Julian Emmanuel Sharpe. Sharpe was pronounced dead at the scene; Scott was taken to VCU Medical Center where she later died from her injuries.

Elisa Scott, known as Lisa-Lee and TeeTee, was a mother of three and a Hopewell High School graduate who had been born in Bad Friedrichshall, Germany and raised in a military family. Friends and family remember her for her energy, laughter, love of singing and dancing, and creative interests in home décor and writing.

The Hopewell Police Department arrested a suspect in connection with the double shooting and the case proceeded toward trial. If anyone knew Elisa or has information about the shootings, please share what you can.
