Antonio Bernard Cameron was 43 when he was fatally shot in Virginia Beach, Virginia, on May 13, 2016. He suffered a gunshot wound to his torso in a neighborhood off Newtown Road, was taken to a hospital, and later died of his injuries.

Police identified a longtime friend, Leander Williams III, then 42, as the shooter. Williams was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony; he was held without bond. Williams said the shooting occurred during an argument and was an act of self-defense.

During trial the prosecutor sought more time but was denied; on advice from the chief deputy commonwealth’s attorney, the prosecutor dismissed the charges under the mistaken belief they could be refiled. Because jeopardy had attached, the dismissal barred retrial, and Williams was released. The commonwealth’s attorney described the error as inexcusable and fired the chief deputy. No conviction was ever obtained in Cameron’s death.

Did anyone in the neighborhood around Newtown Road in May 2016 see or hear anything that could help clarify what happened that night?
