Tamonni Featherstone was 22 and a Richmond, California resident when he was killed in a drive-by shooting on November 1, 2015. The shooting happened about 9:30 p.m. at McDonald and San Pablo avenues while Featherstone was in a vehicle with two others. A silver sedan pulled up, opened fire, then fled; the victims’ car accelerated into the intersection and later crashed. Featherstone and another young man, Damont Kimble, were pronounced dead at the hospital. A 21-year-old woman in the car survived but suffered critical injuries.

Richmond Police described the attack as calculated and targeted and said no suspects were immediately apprehended. The shooting was counted among the city’s homicides that year; police increased patrols afterward and community leaders held meetings to address violence. Featherstone had prior 2014 arrests for firearm and ammunition possession and participation in a criminal street gang, as noted in reports. The investigation remains open.
