Marquis Benton, 29, was fatally wounded in a shooting that sent him to Maryview Medical Center on the evening of September 20, 2015. Dispatchers received a call about two gunshot victims at about 5:47 p.m.; Benton’s injuries were severe enough that he was transferred to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital, where he later died. A second man treated that night had non-life-threatening wounds and was released.

Portsmouth Police Department’s Major Crimes Unit opened an investigation but could not determine the exact location where the shooting occurred. Investigators said no motive was immediately apparent and appealed to the public for information. No arrests have been announced and the case remained open.

If anyone has information about where the shooting happened or who was involved, please come forward to assist the investigation.
