Chasmine Richardson was 23 and known to family as Sunshine. She worked at Healthscope Benefits and had begun a career at Fruition Hair Salon while living in Columbus, Ohio with a large, close family including parents Jada Ellison and Charles Richardson. On the night of Tuesday, February 12, 2019, just after 10 p.m., Columbus police found Chasmine in the road next to her car near Loeffler Avenue and Bryden Road with multiple gunshot wounds. She was taken to Grant Medical Center in critical condition and died four days later on Saturday, February 16.

Investigators determined the shooting resulted from a failed robbery attempt and quickly identified a suspect who was known to Chasmine. Police arrested 26-year-old Nathan Jenkins and charged him with aggravated murder and robbery; the arrest occurred as Chasmine was dying, a fact her mother later noted. The shooting ended a promising life surrounded by family and friends.

Did anyone in the area remember seeing Chasmine or her car that night, or have information about the robbery attempt?
