Life in prison for 9-year-old's murder, Durham rapper 'Lil Tony' linked to 2nd drive-by shooting

Z'yon Person's mother and aunt talked with WRAL on Tuesday in an emotional scene at the Durham County Courthouse. Full story: https://www.wral.com/sentencing-expec... Two gang members linked to the death of a 9-year-old child in Durham were sentenced to life in prison on Tuesday in an emotionally taxing day at a federal courthouse in Greensboro. Antonio Davenport, 27, was convicted in July of shooting and killing a boy in Durham. Davenport's sentencing was delayed by several hours after an outburst in court led court marshals to remove him from the courtroom. Davenport also spit at a court official. Davenport was found guilty of killing Z'yon Person, who was shot on Aug. 18, 2019, while riding in a car with his family to get snow cones. The incident occurred near the intersection of Duke and Leon streets. Prosecutors said Davenport's gang mistook the family's SUV as one belonging to a rival gang with Davenport having exchanged threatening messages on Instagram the day prior. Davenport was known as a rapper who goes by "Lil Tony" before the shooting.
