Qvanta Johnson, 23, was shot and killed on the night of July 5, 2026, on Bethel Street in Richmond, Virginia. Another man was wounded in the same shooting and survived. Richmond police opened an investigation and appealed to the public for information; early reports indicated no immediate arrests and no suspects were publicly named.

Identified in his obituary as Qvanta Alexander Johnson, he was remembered at a funeral service held in mid-July. His mother has said she does not believe the shooting was random and suggested it might be connected to an old grudge, noting he had recently been released from prison.

The investigation remained unresolved and the case grew cold, leaving friends, family and the community without public answers. If anyone has information about the shooting on Bethel Street, please come forward.
