PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) — A Navy sailor has lost sight in his left eye after he was shot in the temple during what should have been a routine OfferUp exchange on Moton Street in Portsmouth.
Frederick, 20, and his pregnant wife Emily, 18, traveled from their home in Norfolk to Portsmouth around 9 p.m. on Oct. 28 to buy a cell phone from a young girl, according to family members.
When they arrived, six young men surrounded their car and one of them started firing, according to Frederick’s father Randall.
“Somebody put a gun to [Fred’s] head and within seconds pretty much ruined his life,” said Randall, who asked 10 On Your Side not to use his family’s last name for fear of retaliation.

Portsmouth is the key here. I don't even drive thru there anymore. I hope they come out ok.
Why would you buy a cell phone that way?
Was it a stolen phone?
