Police have identified the victim of a deadly triple shooting that occurred early Sunday morning in the southern Western Branch area of Chesapeake.

According to officials, 28-year-old Darrien Rakwon Duck, a resident of Chesapeake, lost his life after being shot shortly before 2:40 a.m. The incident happened at the intersection of Holly Cove Drive and Schooner Trail, a residential neighborhood of townhomes located off Airline Boulevard near Southwestern Park.

Authorities say that while officers were responding to the initial call, they were notified of two additional shooting victims connected to the same incident. Both had arrived separately at local hospitals, suffering from injuries that were not considered life-threatening.

The Chesapeake Police Department is continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the shooting. No information has been released about potential suspects or a motive. Detectives are urging anyone with information to come forward to assist in bringing answers and justice to Darrien’s family.

Darrien’s death has left loved ones and the community in mourning. Known by many for his presence, personality, and ties to the area, his life was tragically cut short in an act of violence that has shaken those who knew him. Friends and family are remembering him as more than just a victim — but as a son, friend, and loved one whose absence will be deeply felt.

As the investigation continues, police are asking anyone with information to contact the Chesapeake Police Department or submit tips anonymously through Crime Line.

This heartbreaking tragedy serves as a stark reminder of the devastating toll gun violence takes on families and communities, leaving behind grief, unanswered questions, and an urgent need for change.
