LaMarj Deshawn Holden was 10 when he was killed in a shooting on August 9, 2023, in Franklin, Virginia. The shooting began as a dispute on Artis Street outside a home; LaMarj was inside the residence and was struck by a bullet. An adult male was also shot but survived.
Investigators quickly identified a suspect, Tashawnda Drayton, who also used the rap name 23 Brazy and left the area after the shooting. A manhunt followed, and federal authorities later took Drayton into custody. She was charged with first-degree murder in connection with LaMarj’s death.
What information about the night of August 9 could help clarify how the dispute escalated to gunfire?
