David Bernard Stewart was 31 when he was shot and killed at a home on Downing Drive in Danville, Virginia, on December 23, 2018. The shooting occurred during a gathering in the days before Christmas; a 23-year-old woman was also struck by gunfire but survived.

The Danville Police Department named Antwain Maurice Jones a person of interest and later a suspect. Jones left Virginia and was tracked to Texas, where he was arrested and returned to face charges. A grand jury indicted him on multiple felonies including first-degree murder for Stewart’s death, malicious wounding for the injured woman, and two counts of using a firearm in the commission of a felony. Jones was held without bond.

Jones was convicted on the charges and received a total sentence of 88 years in prison for his role in the fatal Christmas party shooting. If anyone knew David Stewart or has information about that night, please share what might help the record.
