Police say Snipes had been attending a party in the area. Several witnesses told investigators they saw a dark-colored sedan and a light-colored sedan carry out a “drive-by shooting” while passing by the location of the party. However, they didn’t have further details on the sedans or suspect descriptions.
Now, as police continue to investigate, they’re asking anyone with information on the shooting to call them at 757–393–8536. You can also leave an anonymous tip with the Crime Line by calling 1–888-LOCK-U-UP or visiting www.portscrimeline.com.
