Nateria Nae Powell was a senior at Maury High School in Norfolk, Virginia, when she was fatally shot on Lead Street in May 2017. The shooting was later described as accidental by her boyfriend, Lamontraye McAdams, who was arrested in the case.

McAdams was initially charged with second-degree murder. In February 2018 he pleaded guilty to an amended charge of involuntary manslaughter and also pleaded guilty to reckless handling of a firearm resulting in serious injury and obstruction of justice. In May 2018 a judge sentenced him to a 10-year term with five years suspended, along with 10 years of good behavior and three years of supervised probation, leaving a five-year prison term to be served.

Anyone who knew Nateria, her activities at school, or who has information about the events on Lead Street in May 2017 is asked to come forward.
