On the evening of November 12, 2021, 9-year-old Abdul Rahman Hamad was shot and killed outside his family’s convenience store, the O.M.G. Market on Creighton Road in Richmond, Virginia. Abdul had run back into the store to grab a forgotten bag of chips and was struck by gunfire as he returned to the car, in front of family members. The attack also killed 14-year-old Rahquan Logan and left two men critically injured.

The community responded with a makeshift memorial of flowers, candles, and teddy bears outside the market. The next day Richmond’s police chief, mayor, and city council president held a press conference condemning the violence and extending condolences to the grieving families.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or knew the victims, please share information that could help investigators and the families.
