Chesapeake Police Investigate Fatal Domestic Shooting of Woman Found in Home

A woman was found dead with gunshot wounds in a Chesapeake, Virginia, home Thursday night after police responded to a report of a domestic assault on Holly Cove Drive. Three children were inside the home and were placed with local family members. Police say the suspect, who knew the woman, had left before officers arrived; the investigation is ongoing and no one has been reported in custody.
The woman was identified as 31-year-old Laureen Brooks.
Officers found Brooks in a bathroom inside the home, according to police.
The children in the home were 11 years old, 4 years old and one month old; the article says they were Brooks’ children.
A neighbor told reporters he did not hear gunshots. Seeing police cars arrive and then a coroner’s van, he said, “That’s when I knew someone had passed away.”
