Portsmouth, Virginia is heartbroken as the community mourns the tragic loss of 27-year-old Evol So, who was shot and killed in Norfolk. According to officials, the incident occurred late Tuesday evening, when officers responded to reports of gunfire and found Evol suffering from life-threatening injuries. Despite emergency efforts, he was pronounced dead at the scene, leaving family and friends shattered by a loss no one was prepared for.
Evol’s passing has left an ache that words can barely touch. He was known for his quiet kindness, his steady presence, and the way he showed love not through big gestures, but through the simple, everyday moments that made people feel cared for. Those who knew him remember a young man with a warm heart, a gentle spirit, and a smile that softened even the hardest days.
His loved ones now find themselves clinging to memories that feel both painful and precious — the conversations, the laughter, the support he offered without hesitation. Portsmouth is grieving not only the violent way his life was taken, but the bright future that ended far too soon.
As the community gathers around his family, they hold onto the belief that love does not end here. Evol’s life, though cut short, left an imprint on every heart he touched.
Rest in peace, Evol. Portsmouth will carry your memory with love and honor.
