Zion Burton was 15 when he was fatally shot at a large party held in the Calvin United Church banquet hall on Kings Highway East in Fairfield. The party, reported to include 150 to 200 people, was on July 9, 2022 — just days before his 16th birthday. Around 10:30 p.m. a physical altercation erupted and a single gunshot was fired. The bullet struck Burton and also wounded a female attendee in the jaw. Burton was found unresponsive by Fairfield officers, taken to St.

Vincent’s Medical Center, and later died; the female victim was hospitalized and released. Three other people suffered minor injuries while fleeing the scene. Police said they believed the shooting was an isolated incident and that the shooter knew Burton; the shooter reportedly fled immediately. The investigation is ongoing and no public arrest announcement has been made.

Did anyone at that party or in the surrounding neighborhood see something that could help investigators?
