Jamal Monroe Holland was 19 when he was shot on the evening of November 1, 2008, in the 1300 block of North 27th Street in Richmond, Virginia. A call about the shooting came in at approximately 8:15 p.m.; emergency responders took him to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. Known to family and friends as Sid, his death was described as sudden and violent and left his community grieving.

Early in the investigation police said the motive was likely a drug-related robbery and that three male suspects were seen fleeing the scene in a metallic blue or green Dodge Intrepid-type car. That lead did not produce arrests. Years later the case remains open in Virginia’s cold case files and no suspects have been publicly identified.

Anyone with information about Jamal Holland, the three suspects, or the vehicle is asked to come forward.
