A Richmond motel gathering turned deadly in the winter of 2015. On the evening of February 6, 35-year-old Lynette Gregory was at the room with longtime friend Wayne ’Weezy’ Martin and Martin’s nephew when a gunshot struck Gregory. She died of her injuries on February 7, 2015.

Martin’s nephew testified that he had been sent to the car, and when Martin came out to join him he was upset and said he had accidentally shot Gregory. Prosecutors argued the presence of a gun showed intent to kill, while the defense said Martin would not have brought his nephew along if he planned murder. Martin, then 34, was arrested and tried for murder.

In October 2015 the jury returned a not guilty verdict, accepting that the shooting could have been a tragic accident rather than a deliberate killing. Does anyone have information about the events that night or knew Lynette and can help clarify what happened?
