A Richmond native and former local high school football player is dead while another has been charged with his murder following a shooting in Norfolk Friday night.

Ackies was pronounced dead on scene. His body was transported to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner to determine the exact cause of his death.

According to a statement released by Norfolk State University, Ackies was a freshman majoring in criminal justice and a defensive lineman on the Spartans football team. Before that, he attended Douglas Freeman High School in Henrico and played defensive tackle for the Rebels.

The Spartans held a moment of silence to honor Ackies at the start of their homecoming game against Savannah State University Saturday.

“This is such a tragic situation. Our prayers are with Nick’s family during this very difficult time,” athletic director Marty L. Miller said. “He will be dearly missed by the entire Norfolk State University family.”

Anderson also attended Norfolk State University and played linebacker for the Spartans before graduating in 2016. According to the team’s website, Anderson is also from Richmond and played high school football at L.C. Bird High School.
