Fontino Hardy Jr., 29, a Richmond, California resident known for his work with local youth, was shot and killed on July 14, 2015. That afternoon he had been speaking at the Booker T. Anderson Community Center about the risks of violence. He was found in critical condition, taken to a hospital, and pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

A 17-year-old boy was also wounded in the same incident and taken to a trauma unit in stable condition. The shooting was described as a drive-by, with the suspect vehicle entering the complex through its single entrance. The Richmond Police Department had not immediately identified any suspects or made arrests. Hardy’s death was widely mourned in Richmond because of his community work with young people and his efforts to steer them away from violence.

Does anyone who knew Hardy or was in the Monterey Pines area that afternoon have information that could help fill in what happened?
