Antonio C. Scott, 31, was killed in his Portsmouth, Virginia home on the afternoon of August 20, 2015. Two armed men forced their way into the house on Florida Avenue around 2:45 p.m. while Scott was there with his sister and his seven-year-old daughter. A hallway struggle between Scott and one of the intruders, identified as Alfred Lane, ended when Lane fired a gun; Scott was struck five times and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Scott’s sister hid under a bed after the first shot but was later forced out by the intruders, who warned her not to call police. Lane took keys from Scott’s pocket and compelled the sister to help search Scott’s bedroom for drugs and money. The men left the home with a bag of marijuana.

Both Alfred Lane and Christian Burden were arrested and charged in connection with the homicide. In March 2016 a jury convicted Alfred Lane, then 24, on multiple felonies including first-degree murder, armed statutory burglary, robbery, abduction, and three counts of using a firearm in the commission of a felony; the jury recommended a 69-year prison sentence. Does anyone have information about Antonio, his family, or the events that afternoon?
