Fourteen-year-old Amir Burnett, a Norview Middle School student who loved football, was shot and killed on September 3, 2023, at a gathering of teens and younger children at Crown Point Townhomes in Norfolk, Virginia. An adult who was supervising the group, 27-year-old Albert James Sutton, brought a gun into an upstairs bedroom and began showing it to the children. The weapon discharged and a single bullet struck Amir in the chest.

After the shooting Sutton fled the home with the firearm, leaving the children to call 911 and attempt to help Amir. Police later identified Sutton, contacted him, and detained him after he returned to the scene. He initially blamed another child but then admitted he had inadvertently fired the gun while trying to place it in his waistband. Sutton was arrested and charged with involuntary manslaughter and reckless handling of a firearm; he was denied bond.

Does anyone have information about that gathering at Crown Point Townhomes or recall seeing Sutton with a firearm that day?
