HAMPTON, Va. (WAVY) - Police are seeking the public's help in locating a 21-year-old man wanted in connection with the shooting death of a Hampton teen.
According to Sgt. Jason Price with the Hampton Police Division, officers were patrolling the 2000 block of Seldendale Drive Dec. 1 when they heard shots fired just before 1:45 a.m . They then located 19-year-old Bartholomew Kyle Robinson of Hampton suffering from a gunshot wound to the upper torso.
Price said Robinson was sitting with a 19-year-old female inside a 2008 Dodge Caliber when he was approached by three men.
Following a verbal altercation, one of the men took out a handgun and shot Robinson. Price said the incident appears to be drug-related and before the three men took off, they stole money and personal items from Robinson and the woman with him.
Price said Tyreek Braxton of Hampton is wanted in connection with Robinson's death on charges of murder, robbery, abduction and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.
Last month, 19-year-old Lequis Williams was arrested and charged with one count of murder, two counts of robbery, two counts of abduction and three counts of use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.
There is no information about the third suspect at this time.
Anyone with information on Braxton's location or the shooting is asked to call the Crime Line at 1-888-LOCK-U-UP.
