NORFOLK, Va. — A man accused of fatally shooting a woman in Norfolk in 2016 is finally being extradited from Pennsylvania to face murder and weapons charges.
Arrest warrants were taken out against 26-year-old Zquan Steeps in September 2019. He was charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of 38-year-old Charlene Ryals.
Ryals was shot on December 4, 2016. Police were called to a home in the 500 block of Garren Avenue that day where they found her with a gunshot wound.
Medics rushed her to the hospital for treatment, but she died there.
Police spent a couple of years investigating her death, but they were finally able to file charges on Sept. 18, 2019 against Steeps for second-degree murder and using a firearm in the commission of a felony.
Steeps was jailed in a Pennsylvania prison on unrelated charges when he was served those warrants. Now, he'll be extradited from Pennsylvania to Virginia.
