Davon L. Goslin, 29, was fatally shot in the early morning of March 18, 2026, at the Summit Point Apartments in Petersburg, Virginia. The shooting occurred just before 5 a.m. on Oak Lane. Family members remember Goslin as a sweet man who would do anything for them; despite serious health issues he was known for a positive attitude and determination to succeed. He had not been a long-term resident of the complex.

Two suspects believed to be known to Goslin fled the scene and moved to another part of the complex near Hickory Court and Linda Lane. A K-9 unit tracked the pair, and when officers located them around 7 a.m. one man reportedly opened fire on police. Officers returned fire, striking one suspect multiple times in the legs; both suspects were taken into custody and no officers were injured. The Petersburg Police Department is handling the homicide investigation, and the Virginia State Police are investigating the related officer-involved shooting. Authorities have not identified the suspects.

If anyone has information about Goslin, his movements that morning, or the events at Summit Point Apartments, please come forward.
