Dekar Kareen Jones was 32 when he was shot and killed in Norfolk, Virginia, in the early morning of June 18, 2011. The shooting followed a dispute on Selden Avenue that escalated into gunfire and prompted a Norfolk Police Department homicide investigation.

Within a month police identified three suspects: brothers Marcus and Rashad Deering and Jayquon Norman. Warrants were issued for murder and use of a firearm. Marcus Deering was arrested in Chesapeake; Rashad Deering and Jayquon Norman were later taken into custody. All three were charged with second-degree murder and held without bond as the cases moved toward trial.

Marcus Deering went to trial in June 2012. The defense described a chaotic struggle over a gun during a dice game and witnesses gave conflicting accounts; the jury acquitted Marcus of second-degree murder.

If anyone knew Dekar Jones, was present on Selden Avenue that night, or has information about the subsequent prosecutions, please come forward.
