On the evening of November 3, 2021, a burst of gunfire in the Young Terrace neighborhood of Norfolk, Virginia, left three women dead and two others wounded. Among those killed was 45-year-old Nicole Lovewine, who was shot after rushing to help her 19-year-old daughter, Angel LeGrande, who had been wounded during the attack.

Police say the shooter was identified as 19-year-old Ziontay Palmer, the pregnant daughter’s boyfriend. An argument earlier in the evening reportedly led to Palmer being asked to leave the apartment; he returned and opened fire. Detra Brown, 42, Lovewine’s partner, and 44-year-old neighbor Sara Costine were also killed while attempting to intervene. Several children in the neighborhood, including Lovewine’s young son, witnessed the shooting.

Palmer was taken into custody a short time after the shooting and charged with multiple counts related to the attack. The community described the victims as kind and loving. Does anyone have information about Nicole, her family, or the neighborhood the night this happened?
