Martinez D. Hill, 22, was fatally wounded on the night of December 12, 2014, after being shot in the head while riding in a car in Franklin, Virginia. That night officers responded to reports of shots fired on the 1400 block of Rosewood Avenue but initially found no victim at the scene. Hill was later dropped off at Southampton Memorial Hospital’s emergency room by individuals who then left; he was airlifted to Norfolk General Hospital but died of his injuries.

A few days after the shooting, 23-year-old Joseph McDonald Lynch Jr., also of Franklin, surrendered to authorities and was charged in connection with Hill’s death with murder, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, shooting into an occupied vehicle, and discharging a firearm in public resulting in death. Lynch was being held without bond at the Western Tidewater Regional Jail as the case moved forward.

If anyone has information about the incident on Rosewood Avenue that night or saw the vehicle involved, please share what you know.
