In the early morning hours of September 3, 2021, 39-year-old Torey L. Lane, a Black man from Virginia Beach, was found with a gunshot wound at a residence in the 700 block of A Avenue in Norfolk. Officers arrived after a 3:30 a.m. call and Lane was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced deceased shortly after arrival.

Investigators determined the shooting was domestic-related and arrested 30-year-old Tyree O. Jones of Norfolk. Jones was booked on second-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony and held without bond in the Norfolk City Jail. Reports named Jones as the brother of Lane’s girlfriend.

Lane was remembered by family as charismatic and creative, with passions for cooking, writing, and music; he was the father of a daughter, Daziyah, and a son, Kaptain. Does anyone with information about that September 3, 2021, incident or who knew Torey Lane have details to share?
