Lamont Javon Hawley Barrow, 24, was shot and killed in Richmond, Virginia, on the evening of March 31, 2025. The shooting happened about 6:30 p.m. at the intersection of Azalea Avenue and Chamberlayne Road in the city’s Northside. Barrow was reportedly taking a different route than usual to pick up his son from football practice when the violence occurred; a second victim, an adult female, suffered a non-life-threatening gunshot wound and went to a hospital in a private vehicle. Emergency responders took Barrow to a nearby hospital, where he died of his injuries. Some accounts say Barrow may have been attempting to save another man when he was shot.
