VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) — A man has died after being shot Monday on Mulberry Loop off of London Bridge Road in Virginia Beach.
Virginia Beach Police said they got multiple calls around 5:22 p.m. reporting a shooting incident in the 2500 block of Mulberry Loop, with police and Virginia Beach Rescue responding to the scene.
A man who lives off of Mulberry Loop told 10 On Your Side he was inside his house when he heard a woman screaming for help. He ran outside and started giving CPR to the neighbor who was shot.
Another neighbor who was on his way home from work when he saw yards of yellow tape wrapping around his street and several properties told 10 On Your Side that he was shocked.
“This is a good neighborhood, so nothing like this has ever happened,” said Marcus Moore.
There, they found the victim, Danny Theis, 48, of Virginia Beach, suffering from a gunshot wound, police said. He was taken to a local hospital, where he died as a result of his injuries.
People in the neighborhood told 10 On Your Side that Theis lived off of Mulberry Loop with his family and that on Monday night, had gotten into an argument with a family member.
A Facebook post from the Navy Special Operations Foundation listed Theis as a retired Lieutenant in U.S. Navy after three decades of service.
A preliminary investigation indicated that the shooting was domestic-related, police said. The Virginia Beach Police homicide unit is investigating the shooting’s circumstances, police said.
