Dontes Lasedric Simpson was 27 when he was killed by gunfire on Saturday, May 7, 2016, in Danville, Virginia. A United States Marine Corps veteran and an employee of the Dollar General Distribution Center, he left behind his mother, a son, a daughter, and a large extended family.

Months of investigation followed before a grand jury returned indictments in November 2016 charging two men with murder. Carson Wilson was taken into custody; Kareem DuBose was declared armed and dangerous and sought by authorities.

Simpson’s family and community continue to live with the loss and unanswered questions about the case. If anyone knew Dontes or has information about what happened that night, please share what you know with the Danville Police Department.
