The U.S. Marshals Service issued a $2,500 reward for information leading to the arrest of a man wanted in connection with a Norfolk shooting and several other violent crimes around Hampton Roads.
Brian Lamar Askew, 35, is wanted in a midday Friday shooting in Norfolk’s Campostella neighborhood that left a woman with life-threatening injuries. Investigators say Askew knew the woman but did not specify the nature of their relationship.
The woman was in stable condition by Monday morning, according to police.
