On January 14, 2016, police in Newport News, Virginia, responded to a reported vehicle accident near 14th Street and Wickham Avenue and found a silver van with two men shot inside. Thirty-year-old Quinton Antonio Kelly and 38-year-old Cadre Antwoine Gray were both pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators identified two suspects, Laratio Lorenzo Dantzler and Stephen Lorenzo Hayes. A witness pointed out a fleeing suspect, and officers confronted Dantzler in the 1300 block of Roanoke Avenue; Dantzler, armed at the time, was shot by police, treated at a hospital for non-life-threatening injuries, and arrested on charges that included two counts of first-degree murder, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, attempted robbery, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Hayes surrendered to authorities on February 16, 2016; he was initially charged with murder and robbery-related offenses and later faced robbery-related charges after the murder counts were dropped.

A private investigator working an unrelated surveillance recorded the incident. The video showed Dantzler and Hayes attempting to rob Kelly and Gray in the van, Hayes fleeing, and Dantzler leaning into the vehicle and opening fire; a neighbor’s 911 call also captured the shooting. Dantzler was ultimately convicted and received a life sentence for the murders of Kelly and Gray. If anyone knew Antonio Kelly or has information about that night, please share what might help the ongoing record.
