NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) – A man was sentenced to 43 years in prison, with 13 years suspended, in connection to a fatal shooting on Kimball Terrace June 18, 2024, according to the Commonwealth's Attorney's (CA) office.
According to the CA's office, Lewis shot 32-year-old Bobby Lee Hill in the head in the 3100 block of Kimball Terrace before getting away in his car. Using security footage, investigators tracked the destination Lewis traveled back to his apartment complex.
Investigators then secured a search warrant and while inside found the 9mm firearm used in the murder of hill, says the Commonwealth.
Lewis entered a plead deal Tuesday, May 20, to avoid charges of first-degree murder but was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and using a firearm in the commission of murder hours after the shooting.
'In years past, this case may have never been solved, but thanks to NRHA surveillance cameras, private security cameras, and the Flock system, a case that otherwise may have been totally cold led to an arrest within hours of the murder and, today, a guilty plea to that crime,' said Commonwealth's Attorney Ramin Fatehi.
Lewis admitted he was the shooter after waiving his Miranda rights, but his motive remains unclear.
'I am very sorry for Mr. Hill and his family. We will continue to advocate for the responsible use of technology that solves crimes and protects the civil rights and privacy of innocent people,' says Fatehi.
