Man dies after shooting off of Ferrell Parkway in Virginia Beach

Police say all suspects are in custody and there is no public threat at this time.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — The Virginia Beach Police Department is investigating a deadly shooting that happened Friday morning. 

According to dispatch for the department, the shooting occurred on the 1300 block of Stonecypher Court. That's near Ferrell Parkway and Indian Lakes Boulevard. 

Police got the call to respond at 3:26 a.m. Shortly after 5:30 a.m., police were still at the scene. 

Officials confirmed that one man died from his injuries, 23-year-old Miekko Faxon. 

A police spokesperson says all parties involved are either in custody or investigators know where they are.

Friday morning, police officers spent hours taking brown paper bags and boxes from the home roped off by crime scene tape.

“I can’t recall anything like this happening within this particular part of the neighborhood,” said Lyedell Gibson, a resident in the area.

There were two large holes in the front windows that are now bordered up. It’s a sight that left many residents, like Gibson, in disbelief.

“We turned on the news and sure enough," he said. "Holy cow it’s one block over.”

He said this is a peaceful neighborhood that he’s lived in for nearly 25 years.

“My grandson, we live on the court one street over," Gibson said. "And they play out there in the court, and it’s been pretty quiet for the whole time we’ve been here.”

Although police say there’s no public threat, Gibson is still searching for answers.

“I’m curious," he said. "Kind of want to make sure it’s not someone we know.”

A woman who did not want to speak on camera said her son lives at the home detectives were investigating. She and her family asked for privacy as they try to move forward.
