On June 7, 2022, 30-year-old Georgio Devontae Lee was one of four people fatally shot inside a house on Maple Avenue in Portsmouth, Virginia. The other victims named in reports were Samuel Jones, Oleisha Mears, and Ashley Merricks; the victims were reportedly asleep when gunfire erupted.

Two cousins, Raymond and Antwann Gore, were arrested and charged in connection with the killings. In January 2023 a jury found Raymond Gore not guilty on all charges. In November 2023 the charges against Antwann Gore were dismissed after prosecutors cited insufficient evidence and a lack of credible witnesses; court filings indicate the prosecution’s case relied heavily on one witness whose inconsistent statements weakened the case.

Georgio Lee’s sister, Shecora Lee, has publicly expressed frustration and grief over the outcome and urged anyone with information to come forward. Does anyone have information about the shooting or recall activity on Maple Avenue that night?
