Jaquonta S. Walton, 20, was shot and killed in Salisbury, Maryland, on June 10, 2017. Around 1:50 a.m., Walton and a friend were leaving a party at the VFW on West Main Street when an unknown assailant approached in the parking lot, fired at least one shot into Walton’s torso, and fled. Walton was taken to Peninsula Regional Medical Center and pronounced dead shortly after arrival. The Maryland State Police Homicide Unit led the investigation.

Investigators later linked the killing to a confrontation inside the VFW earlier that night between Walton and Dionte Dutton. Authorities say Dutton summoned Lee Richard Braboy to the scene with a firearm; the two waited in a vehicle, stalked Walton as he left, and then Braboy walked up to Walton and shot him in the chest before fleeing on foot. Braboy was convicted of first-degree murder in March 2019 and received life without parole; Dutton was convicted on related charges in a retrial in May 2023 and received an 83-year sentence in August 2023.

Did anyone who was at the VFW that night see the confrontation inside or the men waiting in a vehicle outside?
