Dionte J. Mason, a 30-year-old man, was shot and killed in Petersburg, Virginia, on the evening of Wednesday, October 26, 2016. Petersburg police responded shortly after 7 p.m. to the 800 block of Wilcox Street and found Mason with a gunshot wound; he was taken to Southside Regional Medical Center and died of his injuries.

Investigators say the shooting followed a dispute between Mason and 35-year-old Nathaniel D. Foreman of Hopewell. Foreman was arrested the next day by the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force in the 300 block of Browder Street and charged with first-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. He was held without bond at the Petersburg City Jail.

Court filings show Foreman later entered an Alford plea to a reduced charge of second-degree murder. He was convicted of second-degree murder and a related firearm offense and received a combined sentence of 23 years in prison for Mason’s death.
