Camarillo, 31, was co-producer of the short film “Gallery of Nightmares,” which had been entered into the Hampton Roads 48 Hour Film Project.

Shooting Shakes Norfolk’s Ghent Neighborhood

Camarillo was transported to a local hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries, the Norfolk Police Department confirmed.

“Tony was a bright light of a person,” Rainey told News 3 (WTKR). “He had been with our film community just for a year, but made just the hugest impact. It’s a huge loss in this network of storytellers.”

Friends and collaborators remembered the 31-year-old father of three as an energetic presence who embraced everyone in the local creative scene. Zachary Hines II, a friend who met Camarillo a decade ago through the Hampton Roads arts community, emphasized his dedication to his family. “Tony was somebody who loved everybody,” Hines said to News 3. “And I think this is an opportunity for us to be able to show love to those who were close to him; his family, his loved ones, and his children.”

Police Search for Suspect Skyler Brock

The Norfolk Police Department has identified 30-year-old Skyler R. Brock of Seaford as a wanted suspect in connection with the ongoing homicide investigation. Investigators stated that Brock may be located in the Seaford area of York County.

Law enforcement activity was reported in Seaford on Thursday morning, though police have not formally confirmed whether that specific operation was tied directly to the manhunt for Brock.

Authorities urge anyone with updated information regarding Brock’s whereabouts to immediately contact emergency services at 911. The homicide investigation remains active.
