James T Bishop was 54 when he was shot and killed on the evening of September 19, 2016, in Richmond, Virginia. Known to neighbors as Jimmy, he often rode his lawnmower along Jefferson Davis Highway to help others with yard work. That night he was riding his mower outside the Grab-n-Go Convenience Store in the 3800 block of the highway when he was struck by a single gunshot wound to the chest.

An off-duty police officer inside the store heard shouting and found Bishop on the ground about 8:53 p.m.; he was taken to a hospital but did not survive. The Richmond Police Department opened a homicide investigation and asked anyone who was near Castlewood Avenue and Bells Road between 8:30 and 8:50 p.m. on the night of the shooting to come forward with information. No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced, and the motive remains unknown.

If anyone was in that area that night or knew Jimmy and has information that could help solve this case, please share what is known.
