On January 8, 2018, 22-year-old Matthew Dillon Jyrkinen was killed at an apartment on Gate Tree Court in Virginia Beach during a methamphetamine deal that turned violent. The confrontation reportedly began over the weight of the drugs and escalated to gunfire; 28-year-old Michael Allen Cain was also found dead and a woman suffered life-threatening injuries. Police arrived around 5 p.m. and discovered the scene.

An investigation led to the arrest of four men: Dale Edward Gauvin, then 22; Steven Larry Gray, 35; Malkim Shamarr Hart, 29; and Justin Travis Rigby, 33. The four faced charges including robbery, conspiracy, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and aggravated malicious wounding. Hart was later charged with two counts of first-degree murder while Gauvin, Gray, and Rigby were charged with two counts of second-degree felony homicide. Some charges against Gauvin were dismissed in January 2019, and Rigby entered a guilty plea to possession with intent to distribute and conspiracy with other charges dropped.
