Calm and collected are the words many people who testified used to describe 21-year-old Ziontay Palmer in court Thursday, marking the third day of his trial.
Ziontay Palmer was accused of killing three women and hurting two others, including his pregnant girlfriend at the time, in the November 2021 shooting.
One year ago, a mass shooting shook the Young Terrace community to its core. Five women were shot, three of them died. Some neighbors say the neighborhood is still not safe.
Ziontay Palmer is charged with killing three women and injuring two others in a shooting last November at Young Terrace housing complex in Norfolk. At a Wednesday preliminary hearing, a judge certified multiple murder, malicious wounding and firearms charges against Palmer and the case will now be sent to a grand jury for consideration.
