Mark Anthony Graves, 47, was shot and killed inside a residence in the 1300 block of Aspen Street in Danville, Virginia, on the morning of Friday, September 30, 2016. Police responded to a shots-fired call around 10 a.m.; Graves was found with a gunshot wound, pronounced dead at the scene, and his body sent for autopsy.

Investigators kept the case active for nearly four years. In June 2020 a Danville grand jury returned indictments against two local men, Tony Wayne Mayo Jr. (then 24) and Devin Lamont Womack (then 28), on charges including first-degree murder, robbery, and two counts of using a firearm in the commission of a felony. Authorities said the act was not random and that the suspects had a connection to Graves.

In November 2021 Womack was tried in Danville Circuit Court; after a two-day trial the jury acquitted him on all counts and he was released. Does anyone have information about Mayo’s case or other details about what led to Graves being shot?
