NORFOLK, Va. - L.C. Grant III, the man accused of fatally stabbing two men in Norfolk in 2020 appeared in a Norfolk courtroom Tuesday for a mental examination hearing.

According to an official with the Norfolk Commonwealth Attorney's office, restoration services were ordered Tuesday and Grant's next examination hearing is scheduled for April 5, 2022.

Grant, 34, of Norfolk, is accused of killing Donta Jackson and Michael Mizzell last year. He was arrested on January 5, 2021 and police secured a felony warrant for second-degree murder.

Jackson, 31, was found with multiple stab wounds in the 5700 block of Hoggard Road on October 28, 2020. He was taken to Sentara Leigh Hospital, where he died from his injuries.

Mizzell, 50, was found dead inside a Little Bay Avenue apartment while police were performing a well-being check on November 6, 2020.

Prosecutors later obtained direct indictments on six felony counts from a Norfolk grand jury on June 2, 2021.

Grant has now been charged with two counts of first-degree murder, one count of carjacking, two counts of stabbing during the commission of a felony and one count of credit card theft.
