On the evening of August 13, 2018, 15-year-old Monti Davon Hughes was shot in the 1300 block of Herbert Collins Way in Norfolk, Virginia. Police found him with multiple gunshot wounds just before 8 p.m.; he was taken to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital and later died.

Authorities arrested four people in the days after the shooting. Twenty-year-old Naquan M. Alexander was arrested the day after the killing; 19-year-old Freddrick Reid, 19-year-old Remono Newby, and 20-year-old Demontae Tyler were taken into custody soon after. Alexander, Reid, and Newby were charged initially with second-degree murder and use of a firearm; Tyler was charged as an accessory after the fact.

On August 13, 2019, a year after the shooting, Naquan Alexander and Freddrick Reid pleaded guilty to reduced voluntary manslaughter charges; their sentencing was set for November 8, 2019. Remono Newby’s case was scheduled for a bench trial on October 16, 2019. Monti’s mother has spoken publicly against youth gun violence.

If anyone knew Monti, was in that neighborhood on August 13, 2018, or has information relevant to the case, please share what can help.
