Marquez McRae, a 30-year-old man from Richmond, Virginia, was shot in the early morning hours of Saturday, July 31, 2021, in the 2000 block of Hopkins Road. He was taken to a local hospital in a private vehicle with life-threatening injuries and died on August 3, 2021. The Medical Examiner was asked to determine the official cause and manner of death, and the Richmond Police Department reclassified the case as a homicide.

Richmond Police detectives opened a Major Crimes investigation and publicly asked the community for information. Detectives asked anyone with knowledge to contact Major Crimes Detective G. Bailey or to submit anonymous tips through Crime Stoppers. There have been no public announcements about arrests or identified suspects in McRae’s death.

Does anyone in the Hopkins Road area that morning or with information about Marquez McRae’s movements in late July 2021 have details that could help the investigation?
