Patrick Lanigan Duffy, 33, was fatally shot in the late afternoon of August 16, 2022, on the 300 block of Halifax Street in Danville, Virginia. Police responded to calls of shots fired at about 4:19 PM and found Duffy with apparent gunshot wounds to his upper body; he died at the scene despite first responders’ efforts.

Investigators quickly identified two suspects: 19-year-old Marte Wil-Shownn Oliver and a 14-year-old boy whose name was withheld. The juvenile was arrested in the early hours of August 18, 2022, initially charged with robbery and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony; a first-degree murder charge was added on August 25, 2022. Marte Oliver was arrested December 13, 2022, in Pittsylvania County and charged with robbery, use of a firearm during a felony, and possession of a firearm by a felon; his original first-degree murder charge was later amended to second-degree murder.

Court records show Marte Oliver pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, robbery causing serious bodily injury or death, use of a firearm in the commission of a murder, and possession of a firearm by a convicted violent felon, with sentencing scheduled for August 4, 2023. Does anyone in Danville have information about the shooting or knew Patrick Duffy?
