On the night of Sunday, February 3, 2013, 23-year-old Kendrick M. Downing was shot while at a social gathering in the 5300 block of Marlfield Drive in Norfolk, Virginia. Police were called around 11 p.m.; officers found Downing on a porch with a gunshot wound. He was transported to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital and died shortly after arrival.

Investigators at first considered whether the wound might have been self-inflicted, but their inquiry determined an argument between Downing and another man at the event led to the fatal shot. A suspect, 38-year-old Bryan Joseph Sweatt of Chesapeake, was identified and taken into custody by the Norfolk Police Department on February 4, 2013. Sweatt was charged with murder and using a firearm in the commission of a felony as the case proceeded to prosecution.

Did anyone who attended that gathering or who knew Kendrick see what happened that night or have information about the argument?
