Vinnesha Michelle Hunter was 19 when she was killed by a single gunshot that entered through her kitchen window in the early hours of July 9, 2011, at her home on Carolina Street in Hampton, Virginia. Officers were dispatched at about 1:50 a.m. after a report of a shooting. Hunter had returned home after attending a party with friends and family earlier that evening; the bullet struck her chest and proved fatal.

She had just graduated from Kecoughtan High School on June 17, 2011, and was born June 3, 1992. Very little else has been reported about who fired the shot or why.

If anyone knew Vinnesha, was at that party, lived near Carolina Street that night, or has information that could help, please come forward.
