‘Bad Girls Club’ Star Deshayla Harris Killed During Shooting In Virginia Beach
In another encounter that happened nearby around the same time, police shot and killed 25-year-old Donovon Lynch, who they described as an armed citizen.
According to Neudigate, who spoke at a news conference on Saturday, the officer who shot Lynch did not have his body camera turned on.
“As much as we would like to be transparent — we pride ourselves on being accountable and responsive — I do not have the answers that the community is looking for in regards to this death right now,” the chief said.
In regards to reports of Lynch being armed, Neudigate said a firearm was “recovered in the vicinity of where this incident occurred.”
Friends and family are mourning the loss of the 25-year-old.
“A father’s dream son! Intelligent, handsome, a scholar, an athlete, an entrepreneur, and loved by all he came in contact with,” Lynch’s father, Wayne Lynch, said in a statement to WAVY. “Rest In Peace Don!”
