On March 12, 2021, Alicia Ann Hereford, 52, and her daughter Morgan Bazemore, 23, were fatally shot in the parking lot of the Hunter’s Square Apartments on Goff Street in Norfolk. Emergency responders found both women with gunshot wounds shortly after midnight; both were pronounced dead at the scene. Autopsy reports indicated Hereford was shot three times and Bazemore sustained two gunshot wounds, including one to the head.

Investigators focused on 29-year-old Kenyatta Ferrell Jones, who had been in an on-and-off relationship with Morgan Bazemore. Witnesses described seeing Jones arguing with both women before gunfire, one witness recorded events on a dash-camera and another saw a vehicle leave the scene. A firearm was recovered from one of the victims’ handbags.

Jones was arrested about a week later and initially charged with two counts of second-degree murder and firearm offenses. Key eyewitnesses later declined to testify, affecting the prosecution’s planned presentation of evidence. Does anyone have information about that night or the people involved that could help clarify what happened?
