Curtis Walton, 33, was shot and killed on the evening of April 8, 2020, near the 3600 block of Columbia Street in Portsmouth, Virginia, close to his childhood home. Emergency crews were dispatched about 8:37 p.m.; medics found Walton with torso wounds and transported him to a local hospital, where he died. Neighbors reported hearing at least three gunshots and some went to his aid before paramedics arrived.

Video footage shows Walton walking when two individuals approached him, a vehicle pulled up alongside, and he was shot as he tried to flee. Investigators identified two vehicles of interest: a black four-door sedan and a maroon four-door sedan with tinted windows and a dent on the passenger side. The stolen car the suspects were using was recovered a couple of days after the murder. In January 2023 authorities named Drye'Antae L. Smith, then 18, as a person of interest, but no arrests have been announced.

Walton was a Liberty University School of Law graduate and an attorney active in community service, volunteering with Toys for Tots and the Salvation Army. A non-profit, Curtis Walton Empowers, was created in his memory, and April 8th has been declared Curtis Walton Love Through Kindness Day in Virginia. Does anyone have information about the vehicles or the individuals seen on the video that could help resolve this case?
