Terrell Robinson, 44, was shot in the back and found on a sidewalk on East 10th Street in the Manchester district of Richmond on the evening of Thursday, September 4, 2025. A call to the Richmond Police Department came in at about 7 p.m.; he was taken to a local hospital and died a short time later. His death was recorded as the city’s 42nd homicide for 2025.

Robinson’s family describe him as someone who turned his life around after about 17 years incarcerated and, after his release around 2019, focused on helping others. He had been known to assist people experiencing homelessness, mentor young people, recently took a job as a truck driver and posted about his travels on a YouTube channel. His mother, Alfreda Berkley, recalled his generosity and warmth.

Family say the shooting followed a confrontation they describe as domestic in nature: Robinson was with his girlfriend when her child’s father appeared, a fight ensued and the shooting followed. As of a week after the incident no arrests had been announced and investigators were asking for tips. Anyone who knew Robinson or has information about what happened is asked to come forward.
