Summer Fuller was 31 when she was shot and killed at an apartment on Chamberlayne Avenue in Richmond on the night of February 13, 2023. Family and friends remembered her as a passionate hairstylist who spent long hours at the Glam Boutique Salon; loved ones held a vigil outside the salon after her death. Her aunt Novita Fuller recalled a recent time Summer had styled her hair, and the family’s grief was deepened by the fact that a cousin had been shot and killed in Richmond just over a year earlier.

Shortly after 10 p.m. that night, Summer’s boyfriend, 29-year-old Dajon Baskerville, called police to report that he had shot her. Officers arriving at the 4200 block of Chamberlayne Avenue heard a gunshot from inside, breached the door and took Baskerville into custody. Investigators seized a firearm; Summer was taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries and later died.

Baskerville was arrested and charged in connection with the shooting. The case resulted in a conviction for second-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony; a judge sentenced him to 33 years in prison. Did anyone who knew Summer or who was in that neighborhood on February 13 hear or see anything that could shed light on what happened?
