Two members of Congress from Virginia and one from New York are looking for answers about the January death of a 60-year-old man from Chesapeake who, according to his family’s lawyer, was fatally shot by a neighborhood security guard while playing “Pokemon Go.”

Jiansheng Chen, 60, was sitting in his minivan in a parking lot in Chesapeake the night of Jan. 26 when he was fatally shot by a security guard, according to media reports about the case.

Police have said Chen, who was Chinese and spoke little English, argued with a security guard before the guard fired the fatal shots. A lawyer representing the security guard says the guard acted in self-defense.

Police continue to investigate the case. The guard has not been identified publicly.

The Virginian-Pilot reported Monday that more than 5,000 people have signed petitions urging the filing of charges against the security guard.

“We are deeply saddened over the death of Jiansheng Chen,” Reps. A. Donald McEachin, D-4th, Robert C. “Bobby” Scott, D-3rd, and Grace Meng, a New York Democrat, said in a statement Tuesday.

“We are also concerned about the manner and circumstances in which he lost his life. Many questions remain and need to be answered, and we call on local authorities to conduct their investigation thoroughly and expeditiously.

“We must know how a game of ‘Pokemon Go’ turned into a fatal shooting.”

The three representatives said they hope Congress “will act in a bipartisan manner to ensure law enforcement personnel receive high-quality, evidence-based training in nonlethal de-escalation tactics.”
