Heavonlei Grant, 21, was found with a gunshot wound to the chest and pronounced dead at the scene in the 5000 block of Finespun Last in Virginia Beach on the afternoon of February 28, 2023. First responders arrived around 2:30 p.m. after reports of a shooting.

Police arrested 19-year-old Jaiden Litton and charged him with involuntary manslaughter. Court documents say Litton told investigators the shooting was unintentional, that he was attempting to unload a handgun belonging to Grant, had pointed the firearm at her while doing so, and that it discharged when she moved the gun. Litton was released on a $50,000 secured bond with GPS monitoring, home confinement, required mental health evaluation, and prohibitions on drugs, alcohol, and firearms, along with unannounced screenings. The investigation remained ongoing.
