Imani Hill, 26, was shot and killed on October 14, 2022, outside Westover Hills Elementary School in Richmond, Virginia. The shooting followed an altercation that escalated to gunfire; Hill was driven to a local hospital in a personal vehicle and later died of her injuries. An adult male was also struck in the head with a firearm during the confrontation.

A 17-year-old male relative of Hill was taken into custody after the incident. He was initially charged with malicious wounding, possession of a firearm by a juvenile, and possession of a firearm on school grounds; those counts were later upgraded to include murder, attempted robbery, and the use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. The school was put on lockdown but no students or staff were physically harmed. Friends and family remember Hill as a supportive, loving mother to her young son.
