In the early morning of November 6, 2016, William D. Norwood, 30, was found fatally shot on Hull Street in Richmond’s Southside at about 1:14 a.m. He had been at a dance club earlier and had celebrated his birthday a week before. Known affectionately as Noony, Norwood was in the early stages of transitioning to live as a transgender woman when he was killed.

Richmond Police responded to reports of gunfire and emergency crews were unable to save him. The case remains unsolved; investigators have received some information about possible suspects but have said more is needed to make an arrest. A grainy image of a person of interest was released describing a Black male about 30 to 40 years old, roughly 6 feet 2 inches to 6 feet 4 inches and about 290 pounds. No arrests have been announced and Metro Richmond Crime Stoppers has offered a cash reward for tips.

If anyone knew William, saw activity on Hull Street that night, or has information about the person of interest, please share what is known with investigators.
