Detra R. Brown, 42, was killed on November 3, 2021, in a mass shooting in the Young Terrace community of Norfolk, Virginia. A certified nursing assistant, Brown was not the initial target; she was fatally wounded after rushing to aid another woman who had been shot during a domestic dispute that escalated into indiscriminate gunfire. Three women were killed and two others wounded in the attack.

Police identified 19-year-old Ziontay Brian Ricardo Palmer as the shooter after the victim who had been shot in the domestic dispute named him. Palmer turned himself in to authorities and was arrested.

Does anyone have information about Detra Brown, her work in the community, or the events that night that could help piece together what happened?
