On the evening of Saturday, January 5, 2013, 27-year-old Phyllis Felicia Fee Vinston was fatally shot at the Marshall Court Apartments in Newport News, Virginia. Reports say gunfire erupted while her two young sons, ages five and seven, were playing outside. Vinston ran out to get them to safety and was struck by a bullet; she managed to reach a courtyard a block away before collapsing. Her five-year-old reportedly witnessed the shooting.

Within days two teenagers, 15 and 16, were taken into custody and charged with murder, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and possession of a firearm by a juvenile. The teens were held in juvenile detention and their names were not released because of their ages. Investigators were still determining whether Vinston was the intended target or an innocent bystander.

Did anyone in the Marshall Court Apartments area see or hear anything that night that could help explain what happened?
