Slain Chesapeake officer was eight-year police veteran
Police officials have confirmed that Det. Jarrod B. Shivers was shot to death Thursday night in South Norfolk while attempting to serve a narcotics warrant.
The shooting occurred in the 900 block of Redstart Ave., in the Avalon section of South Norfolk, officials said.
Shivers, 34, a Greenbrier resident, had been an officer for eight years.
Five years ago, he earned an award through the Virginia HEAT (Help Eliminate Auto Theft) program sponsored by the Virginia State Police. He was honored for uncovering a car-theft ring that stretched from Hampton Roads to Richmond.
Two marked police cruisers and one unmarked car are at the family's home on Brandon Way in Chesapeake. Officers brought food, drinks and ice to the home around noon today. Officers at the home refused to comment about the shooting.
Shivers is survived by his wife and three children.
An account has been opened at the Bank of Hampton Roads for Shivers. Donations can be made under his name or under an account named "Officer Down."
Rest in Peace Brother....
