Sandra Powell-Wyche, 49, a licensed practical nurse at Westminster Canterbury Richmond, was found dead at her home on Chamberlayne Avenue in Richmond in December 2020 after staff raised concern when she failed to report for work. Officers conducting a welfare check entered the residence and discovered Sandra and her 36-year-old husband, Curtis Wyche, both with apparent gunshot wounds. The case was treated as a double homicide.

Police identified Sandra’s son, Trevon Powell, as the primary suspect and arrested him on homicide and firearm charges; reports say the charges were later upgraded to murder and he was held without bond. No motive has been publicly disclosed. The deaths deeply affected Sandra’s colleagues and the local community, who remembered her as a joyful, compassionate caregiver.

Did anyone who knew Sandra or the family notice concerning behavior or have information that could help explain what happened?
