Choir seeking to spread positivity loses tenor to gun violence in Hampton

People in Hampton are grieving the loss of 29-year-old Travell Giles. Police said Giles was shot and killed inside a Wingstop business on Coliseum Crossing around 8 p.m. Valentine’s Day.

We’re working to learn more information but police claim the suspect and Giles knew each other and had been in an argument at the time of the shooting.

“You know you look for stereotypical things,” explained Dr. Rhonda Ross, chaplain for L.O.V.E. Fellowship. “That wasn’t him. Let me clear that up.”
