A Sunday morning shooting on July 28, 2024, in Chesterfield County, Virginia, ended the life of 24-year-old Janya Richardson. Police responding to an apartment in the 700 block of Boulder Springs Drive found Richardson and a 24-year-old man, both with gunshot wounds. Medics pronounced Richardson dead at the scene; the man, identified as Adrian L. Pretlow, was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Richardson was a Huguenot High School graduate, class of 2017, and worked as a certified Pharmacy Technician Manager at a local Walgreens. She was the mother of a young daughter, Jurnee, and is survived by her daughter, parents, grandparents, and siblings. Investigators described the incident as stemming from a domestic dispute; Pretlow and Richardson were in a relationship and lived together in the apartment where the shooting occurred.

Pretlow was arrested on July 28, 2024, while in the hospital and charged with second-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. Did anyone in the Chesterfield area know Janya or have information about what happened that morning?
