In the early evening of January 9, 2024, the life of 20-year-old Domonique Swan, a Black male, was tragically cut short in a violent encounter in Henrico, Virginia. Just after 7:00 p.m., Henrico Police were called to the 200 block of Engleside Drive following reports of a shooting that had led to a vehicle crash. Upon their arrival, officers discovered a grim scene. Inside the crashed vehicle were two men who had sustained gunshot wounds.
Domonique Swan was pronounced dead at the scene.
The second victim, 29-year-old Spencer Bartee, also from Henrico, was found with life-threatening injuries and rushed to a local hospital. Despite the efforts of medical personnel, Bartee later succumbed to his injuries, turning a shocking incident into a double homicide investigation that gripped the community. Both men were residents of Henrico County.
As the investigation unfolded, Henrico Police detectives began to piece together the events that led to the deaths of the two men. Their efforts soon focused on a single suspect. On January 26, 2024, authorities publicly identified 18-year-old Terrance Jarell Morton-Swan, also of Henrico, as the individual they were seeking in connection with the double homicide. A warrant was issued for his arrest on a charge of shooting into an occupied dwelling.
Law enforcement described Terrance Jarell Morton-Swan as a Black male with a slender build, brown eyes, and black hair, which he possibly wears in braids down to his shoulders. He is also known by the nickname 'Rell.' Authorities have since been actively searching for him and have appealed to the public for any information that could lead to his capture. The case remains an ongoing investigation as detectives continue to follow leads in their pursuit of justice for Domonique Swan and Spencer Bartee.
