Monique Lambert, 40, was fatally shot in Richmond, Virginia on the evening of April 11, 2024. She and her partner, 43-year-old Sherwarren Fleming, were both found shot in the 1600 block of Spotsylvania Street; both died in the attack.

The Richmond Police Department’s Major Crimes Unit opened an investigation into the double homicide. Authorities later arrested a 17-year-old male in connection with the killings; reports say he had non-life-threatening injuries from the same shooting and was found near the scene. The 17-year-old was charged with murder and using a firearm in the commission of a felony. The motive and the events leading up to the shooting remain under investigation.
