Joshmahl Russell, 21, of Richmond, California, was shot and killed on March 13, 2016, in the 400 block of Gertrude Avenue. Police received multiple calls about the shooting at about 11:10 a.m.; officers found Russell with multiple gunshot wounds and paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene. His killing was recorded as the sixth homicide in Richmond that year during a reported uptick in violence.

Russell was known to the RYSE Youth Center community and often used its mirrored dance studio; the center’s director described him as quiet and fond of dancing. His death, along with the recent shootings of Xavier McClanahan and William Malik Barnes, deeply affected the center and the city. The Richmond Police Department was investigating but had not announced any arrests or identified suspects; authorities asked anyone with information to come forward.

Did anyone who knew Joshmahl or who was in the Gertrude Avenue area that morning see anything that could help investigators?
