NORFOLK, Va. — Three people are now behind bars, facing charges in connection to a double shooting on Wednesday night that rocked Norfolk's Lindenwood neighborhood.
84-year-old James Carter was gunned down while working at his family-owned Triple C Convenience store. His memory lives on, as a memorial outside the Lindenwood Avenue business keeps growing.
"It shows that I had a good father. He was a family man. He was a hardworking individual. He would give his heart out to a lot of people, and have given his heart out to a lot of people," said Georgia Carter, one of his daughters.
Carter ran Triple C's, after a long career of owning other storefronts in Norfolk.
"He has supported, he has fed, he has clothed," said Georgia. "He has made sure people have actually gotten things that they needed that they didn't think that they could get."
A dispute among several men outside Triple C's led to the gunfire after 8 p.m. on December 20, according to Norfolk Police Chief Mark Talbot.
Georgia, who was inside the store at the time, recalled her father was coming back in after trying to tell the group outside to clear out and move along. However, the gunfire fatally hit Carter and struck another man, who police said Friday is expected to survive.
"To have a tragedy like this to happen. It was just a disaster. I really... I'm always going to see that," said Georgia.
Norfolk police announced the arrest of three suspects on Friday.
Dennis Hisle, 42, is accused of second-degree murder, malicious wounding and gun charges
Bruce Hisle, 40, faces charges of having a firearm and ammunition as a convicted felon.
Norfolk police have not yet responded to our inquiry on whether the Hisles are brothers.
Tamika Credle, 41, faces a count for accessory after the fact.
All three are being held in the Norfolk City Jail without bond, according to online records.
Suspects Dennis Hisle and Credle are scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday. Bruce Hisle has a court hearing set for February.
As Georgia copes with her father's loss, she said she's comforted by the quick arrests made in the case.
"I was so happy. 'Hallelujah' came out of my mouth," said Georgia. "My father's death won't go unknown, unsolved, a mystery."
Georgia thanked people in the community, law enforcement, and city officials for their support. She asked for continued prayers.
