VIRIGNIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) - The sister of a Virginia Beach murder victim told 10 On Your Side she wants answers in her brother's shooting death.

Police responded to the 3200 block of Manor Glen Court around 10:39 p.m . Saturday after receiving reports of a man who had been shot.  When officers arrived on the scene, they found 52-year-old Robert Summerville unresponsive. He was pronounced dead at the scene. 

"By the time we got there, they were just setting up the crime tape," Summerville's sister Sonja Owens said. "We let the police officers know that we were family members."

Investigators determined Summerville was killed on his doorstep following a dispute with another man.

"We just want to know what exactly took place and why did this take place," Owens said. 

Owens says her Summerville was cook at local restaurant and the father of a son in his 20s. She said he  lived in a townhome on Manor Glen Court with two roommates who were at home during the time of the shooting.

"Somebody knows something," Owens said. "It was too many people in that house to not know something. "He didn't deserve this. My brother didn't hurt anybody. He was a good person. For me to get that news that it was my brother... I never wanted to hear that in a million years."

The suspect is described as a black male, approximately 35 years old, with a light complexion and is around 5' 9" tall. He was last seen wearing a black skull cap and a black coat with the word "Timberland" on the front.

Police have not determined if the suspect fled on foot or if he got into a vehicle.

Anyone with information on this shooting is asked to call the Crime Line at 1-888-LOCK-U-UP.
