On the night of February 25, 2012, 24-year-old Vladimir Sadin of Accomac, Virginia, was at a party near Parksley when a dispute broke out and gunfire erupted. Sadin was fatally wounded by a gunshot to the abdomen and died from that wound, according to the medical examiner.

Police began searching for Mark Smith the next day and soon arrested two men. Jakori Evans, then 18, and Mark Smith were both charged with second-degree murder. Investigators said Smith shot Sadin after a struggle when Smith allegedly tried to force his way into the party. A firearms expert testified at trial that at least three different guns were fired at the scene.

Evans later pleaded no contest to discharging a firearm into an occupied dwelling and was given two years of a 10-year sentence, with eight years suspended, subject to probation and good behavior. The trial for Mark Smith began in September 2012 in Accomack County Circuit Court. Did anyone who attended that party or lived nearby see what happened that night?
