Joe Luis Barrera-Pinzon was 19 when he was shot on the night of April 8, 2025, in the 6200 block of Bimini Court in Chesterfield County, near Richmond, Virginia. Officers arrived around 10:23 p.m.; Barrera-Pinzon was found with a gunshot wound, treated at the scene and taken to a local hospital, but he died of his injuries on April 11, 2025.

Chesterfield County Police opened a homicide investigation and identified two male juveniles, ages 16 and 17, as suspects. Juvenile petitions were initially sought charging both with aggravated malicious wounding, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and attempted robbery, and the teens were taken to the Chesterfield Juvenile Detention Home. After Barrera-Pinzon’s death those charges were upgraded to first-degree murder. The investigation is ongoing.
