PORTSMOUTH, Va. — Police are searching for three individuals who were involved in a shooting that killed a young girl and injured a man in Portsmouth.
Officers said 7-year-old Mylani L. Everette died on Thursday, Dec. 24, from her injuries after being shot earlier in the week.
Portsmouth Police Department Major Crimes Unit Detectives said it received a call from the Emergency Communication Center on Tuesday, Dec. 22 around 2:25 p.m. about a shooting that happened near Portsmouth Boulevard and Truxton Avenue.
Detectives said they are looking for Trevon Dionte Avery, Antonyo Jamal Taylor, and Avery Laquin Setzer. They are being charged with first-degree murder and malicious wounding.
Officers said after they received the first call, a report came in from a nearby hospital of the two victims as walk-ins. There's no immediate word on the man's condition, but police say the girl is in critical condition.
Investigators say it appears the two victims were actually in separate vehicles when a suspect in a third car opened fire on them.
Detectives have obtained photos of the suspect vehicle, which appears to be a gold 1999 to early 2000s model Acura.
Police are asking anyone who has information to call the Portsmouth Police Department’s Major Crimes Unit at 757-393-8536 or the Portsmouth Crime Line at 1-888-LOCK-U-UP.
