The Virginia Office of Chief Medical Examiner will not release a toxicology report in the police-involved shooting death of a Buckingham County High School senior in February.

Buckingham County deputies shot and killed Dyzhawn Perkins, 19, on Feb. 13 following a series of events during which he allegedly attacked several people — including a sheriff’s deputy — in several locations.

“We are unable to release copies of reports to the media,” said Arkuie Williams, the state administrator for the Chief Medical Examiner’s Office.

To obtain the report, he said either authorization from the decedent’s next-of-kin or a subpoena was needed. A toxicology report is a document that lists substances that a person could have in their body upon death.

“As for the toxicology report … that would have to come from the medical examiner as they are the ones who generate such a record,” Virginia State Police spokesperson Corinne Geller said.

In July, Buckingham Commonwealth’s Attorney E.M. Wright Jr., who reviewed the case, said no charges would be filed against the two deputies involved in the shooting.

Virginia’s Freedom of Information Act, which stipulates government documents that can be withheld from the public under certain circumstances, does not specifically address toxicology reports as documents which must be released or can be withheld.

“There’s been no law violated. It’s just a tragedy in any way you look at it,” Wright said of Perkins’ death. “It’s a sad situation for the officers and a sad situation for the family.”

The Virginia State Police’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation Office in Appomattox completed its investigation of the incident this summer, said Wright.

Sheriff William G. “Billy” Kidd Jr. previously said Perkins was not armed when shot.

The Office of Chief Medical Examiner in Richmond ruled Perkins’ death as homicide caused by multiple gunshot wounds to the back and chest. The office didn’t release the exact number of gunshots.

According to Kidd, the deputies were placed on administrative leave with pay following the incident and have since returned to work.

Kidd also previously said Perkins attempted to obtain a deputy’s weapon during the alleged attack. He said he requested the State Police investigate the incident “to provide an objective, independent investigative review of the matter.”

At the time, Kidd said deputies responded to three separate calls concerning Perkins. On one of those calls, deputies went to an Arvonia residence where they encountered and struggled with Perkins. Perkins was shot during the struggle and died.

State police confirmed the Arvonia attack occurred on Penlan Road.

Kidd said there were separate incidents that day where Perkins allegedly attacked an elderly couple at one location and a couple inside Faulknier Country Store on Route 20.

According to Kidd, one deputy received treatment at UVA Medical Center for injuries, including cuts and scratches.

Perkins, a senior 269-pound offensive lineman on the Buckingham County High School Knights varsity football team, was also named as Virginia High School League Group 2A All-State honoree.
