A dispute at a graveside service ended in gunfire at Oakwood Cemetery in Richmond, Virginia, on April 16, 2025. Larry Hill, 36, identified by family as Larry Darnell Arkel Hill of Henrico County, was shot before his cousin’s casket could be lowered. He was taken to a local hospital and died of his wounds.

Family members remembered Hill as a devoted father of two, a fiancé who was in the process of buying a home for his family, a military member, and a caring relative. Witnesses said an argument among several people escalated into the shooting, and mourners were left shocked and devastated.

Richmond police opened an investigation into the killing. If anyone was at Oakwood Cemetery that afternoon or has information that could help, please come forward.
