On the evening of January 27, 2025, 23-year-old Toney Garrett of Richmond was found unresponsive in a grassy area between two buildings on St. James Street in the Gilpin Court neighborhood. Richmond Police say Garrett, a Black / African American male, had suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the head and was pronounced dead at the scene after officers responded just after 5 p.m.

Major Crimes detectives led the initial investigation and publicly asked for help as the circumstances of the shooting were unclear and no suspects had been identified at first. Less than three weeks later, on February 13, 2025, police announced arrests in the case. Trayrell Tolliver, 27, of Richmond, and Darius Burgess, 23, of Petersburg, were taken into custody and charged with conspiracy to commit murder; authorities said additional charges were pending and the investigation remained active.

Does anyone who knew Toney or was in the Gilpin Court area that evening have information that could help the ongoing investigation?
