Deon Jawan Peatross, 22, was fatally shot on January 6, 2019, at a residence on Axton Road in Axton, Virginia, after a family argument escalated into violence. Deputies from the Pittsylvania County Sheriff’s Office found Peatross suffering from a gunshot wound; he died at the scene despite emergency personnel’s efforts.

Investigators identified a suspect, Peatross’s cousin Shadji Martin, who was taken into custody and charged with second-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. Reports say the shooting followed a verbal altercation during which Martin retrieved a firearm and shot Peatross.

Does anyone have information about the events at that Axton Road residence on January 6, 2019, or about the relationship between the families involved?
