HAMPTON, Va. — Hampton police say a drug deal gone bad may have led to Monday’s double shooting at Tidemill Farms on Sacramento Drive that killed a 19-year-old and seriously injured a 17-year-old.

An update from police on Tuesday says, in part, "The circumstances surrounding the encounter suggest possible narcotics-related overtones.”

The update goes on to say shots were fired after the two teens got into a verbal argument and says the two victims knew each other, a trend Hampton’s police chief talked about in a news conference Friday in response to several recent crimes.
