"Virginia Beach Crime Wrap-Up: Shooting, Swatting Charges, and Ongoing Vigilance"
Published 9 months, 1 week ago
Description
Over the past week in Virginia Beach, multiple criminal incidents were reported and handled by the Virginia Beach Police Department. In the area near Mulberry Loop, about a mile from the intersection of London Bridge Road and Dam Neck Road, a shooting into an occupied dwelling occurred in May 2024. The case concluded this past week as Kaevon Hinnant pleaded guilty to malicious shooting at an occupied building. The incident involved at least 23 shots fired into the residence, where a child was present but unharmed. Hinnant was sentenced to one year and eight months in jail, along with ten years of good behavior, five years of supervised probation, and an order to avoid contact with the affected family and pay restitution. The case status is closed with a conviction, and there are no suspects at large, as reported by the Virginia Beach Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office.
Separately, Virginia Beach Police Department detectives charged a man after a series of alleged “swatting” calls, which involved making false emergency reports that prompted multiple emergency responses around the city. According to Virginia Beach Police, the suspect, identified as Jalen Chesson, was arrested on July 22, 2025, and currently faces charges in connection with several of these incidents. The case is ongoing, with police indicating that the community is not at further risk. Authorities have not released a case number for this incident, and there are no outstanding suspects as Chesson is already in custody.
No requests for public assistance with suspect descriptions were issued by police over the past week. No home invasion robberies, carjackings, or sexual assaults were highlighted in official police communications or publicly available media coverage for the period ending July 23, 2025.
There have been no notable increases in violent crimes, property crimes, or disturbance calls, and police have not reported any patterns indicating a spike in specific offenses such as burglaries, vehicle thefts, or assault in the city within the last week. As always, Virginia Beach residents are encouraged to stay vigilant and to contact law enforcement with any information related to ongoing investigations or suspicious activity.
Anyone with tips regarding criminal activity is urged to contact Virginia Beach Police at (757) 385-5000 or anonymously through Crime Solvers at (888) LOCK-U-UP.
