NORFOLK, Va. — A 22-year-old man will spend the next 30 years in prison in connection with the fatal shooting of a 19-year-old Navy man.

Robert Jackson killed Haniah Sturdivant outside the Titustown Apartment complex in Norfolk in 2021, according to court documents.

He was sentenced last Friday after pleading no contest to second-degree murder. In exchange for Jackson’s plea to murder, the state agreed to dismiss his other charges.
