Antonio Lewis, 44, was found critically injured in an alley in the 4900 block of Chamberlayne Avenue in Richmond on the afternoon of Friday, August 23, 2024. A call reporting a person shot came into the Richmond Police Department at about 2:51 p.m. Officers located Lewis with an apparent gunshot wound; he was taken to a local hospital and died later that day. The medical examiner later determined the official cause and manner of death.

Reports say Lewis was shot multiple times by a masked man. The slaying deepened a family tragedy: his son had been a victim of gun violence two years earlier. Richmond Police detectives are investigating, have appealed to the public for information, and so far no arrests, named suspects, or motives have been announced.

If anyone has information about the shooting that could help investigators, please come forward to the Richmond Police.
