Four members of one Richmond family were caught in a sudden act of lethal violence that left 14-year-old Sadie Terry dead. Sadie, known as Sweet Sadie, was an eighth-grader at Henderson Middle School who hoped to become an engineer in the United States Navy. She was shot during a domestic dispute at the family’s Highland Park home on a Tuesday; she was taken to a local hospital but died of her injuries on April 24, 2026.

Sadie’s 18-year-old brother, Zion Terry, a senior at John Marshall High School who planned to study nursing, was pronounced dead at the scene. Their mother, Tiffany Terry, was also wounded and survived and is recovering from her injuries. Authorities identified Tiffany’s 41-year-old boyfriend, Levy Nelson, as the suspect; he was arrested and is facing charges related to the shootings.

The community has been offering support to the grieving mother. If anyone knew Sadie, Zion, or the family, or has information about the events that night, please share what you know.
