A major development came on November 5, 2023, when 30-year-old John Quamaine Peden of Newport News was arrested and charged with second-degree murder, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, reckless handling of a firearm, and discharging a firearm.
