Monique Landis was 26 when she was found fatally shot inside an apartment on Gateway Drive in Portsmouth, Virginia, on December 1, 2015. Medical personnel pronounced her dead at the scene and investigators classified the death as a homicide after determining she had sustained a fatal gunshot wound to her upper body.

Investigators quickly focused on 52-year-old Darryl Faine of Portsmouth as a person of interest. Authorities later identified Faine as the suspect and issued a warrant for second-degree murder and related charges, but he had disappeared. Investigators believe Faine may have fled to New Jersey and spent time in the Jacksonville, Florida, area while using the alias Carl Jones and working under the table to avoid detection.

The U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force and local partners developed tips that led to locating Faine in Jacksonville in March 2018; he was arrested there during a traffic stop and held in Duval County pending extradition to Virginia. Does anyone have information about Monique, her last whereabouts, or contacts who might help clarify what happened that night?
