A one-year-old child was killed in a nighttime shooting inside a Henrico County home near Richmond. Jaidah Monae Morris, a Black/African American girl, was asleep in her bedroom on October 10, 2017, when multiple gunshots were fired through the window. A bullet struck her in the chest; she was taken to hospital but died of her wounds. Her father, Te’Monteko Morris, who was in the room with her, was seriously wounded.

Investigators treated the attack as connected to a separate shooting the previous day and later arrested two men in July 2019. Derick Walton Jr. and Byron Cecil Archer III faced charges including felony homicide, conspiracy to commit malicious wounding, and shooting into an occupied dwelling. In November 2019 the prosecution dropped charges against Byron Cecil Archer III, leaving Derick Walton Jr. as the principal defendant; Walton was also alleged to have been involved in another shooting that injured a five-year-old girl.

Does anyone have information about the events or the neighborhood around the Morris home on or before October 10, 2017?
