Lester Leon Richards Jr., 37, was fatally shot on April 15, 2020, in Flint, Michigan — his birthday. The shooting occurred outside a liquor store; Richards was taken to Hurley Medical Center with critical injuries and later pronounced dead there.

Following the homicide, Crime Stoppers of Flint and Genesee County offered a cash reward for tips to help identify those responsible. Motive and the shooter’s identity were not made public in the immediate aftermath, and the case was listed in available unsolved-crime databases.

Friends and family held a family hour and funeral services at the Sheldon T. Banks Funeral Chapel on South Dort Highway in Flint; Richards was buried at Gracelawn Cemetery. Can anyone who was in the area that day or who knew Lester help provide information that could assist investigators?
