They said Andrews opened fire at the Jackpot Hooka Lounge in the 15300 block of Warwick Boulevard in Newport News around 12:15 a.m. on Tuesday morning. Ransome died after being struck by gunfire.
Following Newport News’ police investigation, warrants were obtained and Andrews was wanted for first degree murder, use of a firearm in commission of a felony, possession of firearm by felon and shooting a firearm in a public place.
At 7:49 p.m. Friday, Durham police issued a statement that said they were investigating the death. They said it didn’t appear to be suspicious.
Durham police later determined Andrews took his own life.
