Norfolk Police have charged a Portsmouth man in connection with an ongoing homicide investigation.

Jason M. Robinson, 35, of Portsmouth, has been charged with second-degree murder and use of a firearm in the Oct. 10 shooting death of Christian J. Williams, 48, of Norfolk.

According to police, a call to 911 reported a car accident in the 1500 block of Kerrey Avenue at 8:30 p.m. on Oct. 10.

When officers arrived, they found Williams, the driver of the car, suffering from a life-threatening gunshot wound.

Williams was transported to the hospital, where he was pronounced deceased as a result of his injuries.

The preliminary investigation determined that the shooting had occurred in the 4600 block of Kincaid Avenue, and that Williams had driven to the 1500 block of Kerrey Avenue, where he hit another car.

Robinson was taken into custody by Chesapeake Police on Sunday on an unrelated matter.

He is currently being held in Chesapeake City Jail without bond.
