Suffolk man charged in teen gun death

Posted on Jan 29, 2010

A 29 year old Suffolk man has been arrested and charged with killing a teen during a shooting near Booker T. Washington High School. Norfolk police were alerted to the incident when a call came in claiming gunshots were heard in the 1200 block of Maltby Avenue.

When police responded to the call, they found the victim on the ground. He was quickly taken to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital with life threatening injuries from what police believed were gunshot wounds. He later died at the hospital.

The perpetrator, Dominic Lorenzo Myrick, of Pine Street in Suffolk, has been charged with murder and use of a firearm for his role in the death of the victim Daquan Mario Hill, 19, from Norfolk. Norfolk and Suffolk police worked together to apprehend and charge Myrick.

Hill’s death is the fourth homicide so far this year in Norfolk, and all other victims have been young men in their teens or twenties who have been shot.

Myrick was apprehended by police without incident, and after being charged was sent to be held in Norfolk County Jail.
