Earl Young Jr., 44, was shot to death outside his Henrico home on Hillbrook Avenue on the evening of Sunday, August 20, 2023. He had been inside watching television with friends when his house was attacked; a nearby home had been riddled with gunfire just moments earlier. Officers arrived around 9 p.m., heard gunshots and found Young taken from his residence into the front yard and shot multiple times. He was pronounced dead at the scene. A second man in the house was shot in the thigh and survived with non-life-threatening injuries.

Responding officers saw a group of men running from the yard and fleeing in vehicles. Surveillance video from Danville Street captured suspects just after the shooting, and investigators said the probe pointed toward robbery as a motive. Authorities identified the men as alleged members or affiliates of a local gang known as the 30 Boys. In the months after the killing, arrests followed and a grand jury returned direct indictments; eventually seven individuals tied to the gang were charged in the home invasion and murder.

Four of the suspects had been convicted and three, including Er re'k Johnterri Love, were scheduled to go to trial. Does anyone have information about Earl Young Jr., his activities that night, or the area around Hillbrook Avenue on August 20, 2023?
