Tragedy at Creek Pointe Apartments: Two Found Dead in Chesterfield County Shooting
CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VA — A quiet Friday evening in Chesterfield County turned tragic when a late-night shooting left two people dead at a local apartment complex. The incident, which has shaken the surrounding community, occurred just before midnight at Creek Pointe Apartments, located in the 14600 block of Creekglen Way.
According to the Chesterfield County Police Department, officers were dispatched to the scene shortly before 12:00 a.m. Friday after receiving multiple 911 calls reporting the sound of gunfire. Upon arrival, officers discovered two victims inside one of the apartment units—both suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. Emergency medical personnel responded immediately, but both individuals were pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities have not yet released the names, ages, or the nature of the relationship between the two deceased individuals, pending notification of next of kin. What remains clear, however, is that the loss of life has left an indelible impact on the tight-knit Creek Pointe Apartments community and beyond.
Residents in the complex described hearing several loud bangs, followed by the arrival of multiple police cruisers and ambulances that quickly flooded the area. Many stood outside their apartments, watching in disbelief as investigators cordoned off the building with crime scene tape.
“It’s heartbreaking. This is normally a quiet area,” said one resident. “We never expected something like this to happen here. Two lives lost like that… it’s devastating.”
Detectives and forensic teams remained on the scene into the early morning hours, collecting evidence and interviewing neighbors. While the investigation is still in its early stages, authorities confirmed that they do not believe there is an ongoing threat to the public.
“This appears to be an isolated incident,” said a spokesperson for the Chesterfield County Police. “We are actively investigating all circumstances surrounding the shooting and ask anyone with information to come forward.”
The motive behind the shooting remains under investigation. Police have not confirmed whether the incident was a result of domestic violence, a targeted attack, or another type of dispute. Surveillance footage from the apartment complex is being reviewed, and nearby residents are being encouraged to check their own home security systems for any relevant information.
As the investigation unfolds, local leaders and community groups are speaking out against the violence and calling for unity.
“We mourn the loss of these two lives and urge our residents to lean on one another during this time,” said a statement from a Chesterfield County community advocacy group. “Our hearts go out to the families and loved ones affected by this tragedy.”
Grief counselors and victim assistance services are being made available to residents of the apartment complex and anyone impacted by the event. Local churches and support groups are also stepping in to offer resources for healing and emotional support.
