In the early morning hours of March 21, 2023, 23-year-old Allyjah Rivera was fatally shot inside a home on the 100 block of North 10th Street in Suffolk, Virginia. Officers arrived about 4:20 a.m.; Suffolk Fire & Rescue transported Rivera to a local hospital where she was pronounced dead. The shooting was described by authorities as domestic-related.

Present at the residence when police arrived was 29-year-old Darion Robb, who was taken into custody at the scene and charged with voluntary manslaughter. He was held at the Western Tidewater Regional Jail without bond, and a Suffolk Circuit Court Grand Jury later indicted him on that charge.

A jury returned a guilty verdict for manslaughter on February 8, 2024. Rivera’s death is one more domestic-related homicide in the Hampton Roads area; her family and community were left mourning a young life lost. Does anyone have information about Allyjah’s life or the events that night that could shed light on what happened?
