A late-night dispute on Granby Street in Norfolk on March 19, 2022, escalated into gunfire just before 2:00 a.m. As bars were closing, multiple people were struck; among them was 24-year-old Marquel S. Andrews of Portsmouth, who suffered a life-threatening gunshot wound. He was taken to a local hospital and died of his injuries on April 12, 2022.

Two other people killed in the incident were 25-year-old Devon M. Harris of Portsmouth and 25-year-old Sierra M. Jenkins of Norfolk, a reporter for The Virginian-Pilot. Two additional men were injured and were expected to recover. Norfolk police identified a suspect after an investigation and, with U.S. Marshals assistance, arrested 24-year-old Antoine M. Legrande Jr. on May 17, 2022; he was charged with three counts of second-degree murder, weapons offenses, and malicious wounding but was held without bond.

On November 1, 2022, a judge dismissed the charges after two key witnesses failed to appear and prosecutors declined a continuance; the prosecutor’s office said charges could be refiled if new evidence or witnesses emerge.
