Reginald Basnight was 15 and a student at Salem High School when he was killed on July 12, 1992, in the 1200 block of Glyndon Drive in Virginia Beach. The shooting occurred at approximately 12:30 a.m. after an argument reportedly about a girl with someone in a small white car. Witnesses found him lying in a doorway with a gunshot wound to the chest; despite emergency responders’ efforts he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police described witness accounts that included a suspect and the small white car, but no arrests were ever made. The case remains an active homicide investigation and is listed as a cold case. Few details beyond the night of the shooting are available publicly, and Reginald’s family continues to seek answers.

If anyone has information about the argument, the small white car, or the person involved, please come forward to help bring justice for Reginald Basnight?
