An 18-month-old boy, Dion Lofton Jr, was killed in a Portsmouth, Virginia shooting on the evening of June 27, 2015. Police found the child with a gunshot wound to the head on Maple Avenue in the Prentis Park neighborhood; an adult woman was also shot in the lower back. Both were taken to a local hospital; the woman was expected to survive but Dion succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead.

Investigators identified three suspects and arrested Anthony D. Holley, Jerry Atkinson Jr. and Marquis Hinton on charges that included first-degree murder, aggravated malicious wounding, attempted robbery and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. The attack was believed to have followed an attempted robbery. By May 2017, a jury found Jerry Atkinson Jr. not guilty of first-degree murder and related charges; Atkinson said he remained on the porch and fled when he heard gunfire. Separate proceedings resulted in guilty pleas by Anthony Holley and Marquis Hinton to felony charges tied to the child’s death.

Did anyone in the Prentis Park area see or hear anything on the night of June 27, 2015 that could shed more light on what happened?
