Dwight Montel Harris, 22, was found fatally shot in the 600 block of Cabell Street in Danville, Virginia, after calls of shots fired on October 23, 2018. Emergency medical personnel pronounced him dead at the scene. His body was sent to the medical examiner’s office in Roanoke for autopsy, and the Danville Police Department opened a homicide investigation that remains active with no immediate arrests reported.

Investigators noted the possibility that Harris was specifically targeted. Two years earlier, on June 15, 2016, Harris and another man, Armonti Womack, were the intended victims of a gang-related shooting. That attack involved members of the Milla Bloods acting at the direction of Tredaripus Keene; gunfire was exchanged and two people were wounded but not killed. The 2016 incident provides a documented history of threats against Harris prior to his 2018 death.

Anyone with information about the October 23, 2018 shooting or the earlier 2016 attack is asked to come forward.
