Herbert Thompson Jr., 19, was shot and killed on Friday, August 6, 2021, at a tow yard in Richmond, Virginia. The same shooting critically injured a woman. Family and friends remembered Thompson, known as June, for his musical talent — able to play keyboard and drums after hearing a song once — his poetry set to instrumentals, and his recent work entering the healthcare field.

A viewing for Herbert was held at a Richmond funeral home on August 13, 2021. Details about what led to the violence were scarce in the immediate aftermath, and no arrests or suspect identifications have been publicly announced through late 2025. The investigation remains open.

If anyone knew Herbert, his movements that day, or has information about the tow yard shooting, please come forward with tips.
