Naadirah Sheri Fussell, 34 — A Beautiful Life Tragically Taken.
With profound sadness and heavy hearts, we remember Naadirah Sheri Fussell, 34, of Newport News, Virginia, whose life was tragically cut short following a shooting on September 8, 2026.
That September morning, at approximately 7:57 a.m., officers responded to the 6300 block of Grossman Place in the New Market section of Newport News after receiving a report of a person suffering from a gunshot wound. Inside an apartment, they discovered Naadirah with gunshot wounds. She was rushed to a local medical facility, where every effort was made to care for her. Sadly, after fighting for her life, she passed away on Wednesday.
An autopsy later determined that Naadirah’s death was a homicide, according to the medical examiner.
Behind her name was a life that mattered—a daughter, a loved one, a friend, and a precious human being whose presence brought meaning to the lives around her. Her story should never be reduced to the circumstances of her passing. She was more than a headline; she was a soul with dreams, memories, laughter, hopes, and people who loved her.
Now, those who knew Naadirah are left carrying memories where there should have been more tomorrows. The silence left behind can never truly be filled.
May her memory remain a gentle light in the hearts of those who loved her. May she be remembered with tenderness, dignity, and love.
Rest peacefully, Naadirah Sheri Fussell. Your life mattered, your memory remains, and you will never be forgotten. 🕊️🕯️🌹
