NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — A Hampton man who was previously convicted of a felony pleaded guilty Wednesday to possession of a firearm.
According to the Department of Justice (DOJ), on Feb. 7, 2022, police responded to a call in Newport News involving a man shooting from inside a silver vehicle. When they got there, they found Iziaha Tisdale, 25, in the vehicle. Officers tried to confront him, which led to him running and throwing the loaded gun, the DOJ said.
