The Burlington Police Department is investigating a fatal shooting that happened Wednesday night as a homicide.
Lt. Jeff Klein said Virgue Orr, 35, was shot multiple times in the upper torso at a home in the 600 block of S. Central Avenue. Klein said officers were dispatched at 8:27 p.m. and Orr was pronounced dead at Great River Medical Center at 9:10 p.m.
