Solomon Andrew Roane Dies in a shooting in Hampton, What Happened?

A Chesterfield man killed in a shooting in Hampton late Thursday night is being remembered as a giving and loving mechanic by family members.

Officers were called to the 100 block of Bayhaven Drive just before midnight, according to Hampton Police.

When police arrived, they found 24-year-old Solomon Andrew Roane of Chesterfield County wounded. He was pronounced dead at the scene, officials said.

Police said Roane was shot while meeting “unknown suspects” in the area who ran away before officers arrived, WTKR reported.

Roane was an entrepreneur who had developed a passion for refurbishing cars, according to his family.

Nicholas Jones, Roane’s eldest brother, described the way his sibling would build the cars as a form of artwork.

He learned how to paint, mold cars, fix them… He learned about cars and figured out, ‘Hey, I can make a profit of this,'” his brother said. “I’m almost 40 and I’m not into cars like that, but it was cool to see what he would do, whether it be painting or big rims or style or color. It was his personality.”

Roane, a 2017 graduate of L. C. Bird High School, had set out Thursday from Chesterfield to sell a car he had fixed up to some potential buyers on Bayhaven Drive, according to his brother.

Jones said he feels like what happened to his brother was a set up and that when got to the location to make the deal, “things went south real fast.
