On January 30, 2023, a shooting in the first block of Salisbury Way in Hampton, Virginia, left three people dead. Dijonte Nash, 24, a Newport News resident, was found by police after they arrived about 9:43 p.m. and was pronounced dead at the scene. Destiny Layton, 25 and eight months pregnant, was taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries, died the next day, and the unborn child also did not survive.

Witnesses reported the attack sounded like it involved a machine gun. Nash and Layton had been visiting the apartment complex when the shooting occurred. Family recollections describe Destiny as a joyous, bright person and note she left behind four other children; Nash’s grandmother said he will never get to see his daughters again.

If anyone has information about the shooting, please contact investigators. Who in the community might have seen or heard something that night?
