Suspect in Old Shooting Killed in Norfolk

Tony A. Roundtree, the man once accused in Norfolk’s 2016 Facebook Live triple shooting, was shot and killed Tuesday on Walker Avenue, police said. (norfolk.gov) Norfolk police said officers were called to the 500 block of Walker Avenue at about 1:08 p.m. on April 21, 2026, and found Roundtree with multiple gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene. (norfolk.gov) The shooting happened near Rockingham Street in the Berkley neighborhood, and police said the homicide investigation is still open. News outlets including WTKR and 13News Now identified the dead man as the same Tony Roundtree tied to the 2016 case. (wtkr.com) (13newsnow.com) That older case drew national attention because one of the victims was streaming on Facebook Live when gunfire hit a car on Bainbridge Boulevard on July 12, 2016. Police said three men were wounded in that attack. (nbcnews.com) (wric.com) Roundtree was arrested on Aug. 4, 2016, by a U.S. Marshals fugitive task force in Suffolk, and local reports said officers found him riding a hoverboard when they moved in. He initially faced seven charges, including three counts of malicious wounding and three firearm counts. (wtkr.com) (13newsnow.com) But the case did not end in a conviction. In December 2017, prosecutors withdrew all charges, and police said at the time there was not enough evidence to move forward. (wtvr.com) WTKR reported this week that Roundtree had remained the suspect in that nearly decade-old shooting even after the charges were dropped. Norfolk police have not publicly announced an arrest in Tuesday’s killing. (wtkr.com) (norfolk.gov) An activist interviewed by WAVY after the Walker Avenue shooting said the killing should push the community to confront recurring gun violence in Berkley and across Norfolk. For now, the 2016 case remains unresolved in court, and the 2026 homicide is a new open investigation. (aol.com) (norfolk.gov)
