A Saturday-night gathering in Danville, Virginia, turned deadly on April 18, 2026, when multiple gunshots were fired in the 700 block of Arlington Road. Officers arriving about 11:36 p.m. found 34-year-old Christopher Darnell Moore in a driveway with a gunshot wound; paramedics took him to SOVAH Danville but he later died. Four other people were wounded and taken to the same hospital by private vehicles — a 48-year-old man, a 33-year-old man, a 25-year-old woman and an 18-year-old woman — all treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

Investigators say the shooting was not random and the probe remains active. The Danville Police Department has appealed for help from residents with surveillance footage from the Druid Hills neighborhood near Arlington Road and any other information. Two arrests have been announced: 26-year-old Darryl Maurice Newby on firearm-related charges, and a 16-year-old male booked on multiple felony counts; police say additional arrests and charges may follow.

Did anyone attend the gathering or have video from Arlington Road or nearby streets that could help investigators?
