NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (WAVY) — Swagg is what loved ones called him. Atlanta native, Timothy Anderson moved to Hampton Roads shortly after high school, to help build the nation’s warships. Years later, he would open a catering company named Sweet and Savory.

His short life would end by gunfire on Christmas Eve 2022, on West Pembroke Avenue in Hampton. Heavene Nolley is his sister.

“He was shot nine times; one of them went through his wallet. He was left there alone,” said Nolley.

Days later, other loved ones traveled from Georgia to reconstruct the crime.

“He went to District 41, and that was the last time he was seen there. He got invited to a invite-only type of after-party, and the after-party just turned into something deadly,” Nolley said.

Two years later the sister who followed him to Hampton Roads is heartbroken about the loss of her brother and a loss of traction in a murder case turned cold. The mother of four is considering a return to Georgia.

“With no help from the enforcement I just feel alone….sorry,” Nolley said while tears fell from her face. “The police haven’t been in good communication with us. The officer is no longer answering his phone calls,” Nolley said.

Earlier this month, Nolley became a crime victim in Williamsburg.

“Someone just stole my car and I just feel like me and my family, we have just been through a lot out here and with no help from the enforcement. I just feel alone.,” Nolley said.

Regina Mobley: Do you believe there is someone out there who knows the person who killed your brother?


Heavene Nolley: I think that a lot of people are protecting each other and they don’t want the truth to come out. But it shouldn’t be any reason why I don’t have any why me or my family don’t have any type of answers,” Nolley said.
