Norfolk Portsmouth Newport News, VA, September 17, 2026 —
In Newport News, evidence including phone records and internet search histories was presented to a jury on Tuesday in the ongoing trial of Carlos Johnson. Johnson stands accused of the murders of a mother and her infant child.

The names of the victims were also not included in the summary.
Further details concerning the proceedings, such as the specific charges related to the alleged murders, the timeline of the investigation, or any statements made by the defense, were not elaborated upon in the provided summary. The outcome of the trial remains pending.
