Richard Allen Green was 21 when he was shot and killed on July 9, 2017. Green, an aspiring musician from Jacksonville who performed as Lil Richard, Richy Rich and Billion, was found dead inside a car at the Highlander Apartments on Monaco Drive, off Dunn Avenue. Authorities say the shooting occurred during a planned robbery tied to a drug deal.

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office reported that Green met with 19-year-old Patrick Steadman for the transaction. Steadman allegedly attempted to rob Green and fled after the fatal shooting. Steadman was arrested and charged with armed robbery, murder and possession of a weapon by a convicted delinquent adult and was held without bond. Two other 19-year-olds were also arrested: Cameron McIntyre in Daytona Beach, charged with murder and attempted armed robbery and accused of planning the robbery with Steadman, and Ashanti Rodgers, charged with murder and attempted armed robbery and accused of driving the others to and from the scene.

Green had recently released a song about senseless dying in Duval County and beyond. Does anyone have information about the night of July 9, 2017, or knew Green and can help shed light on what happened?
