Daequon Darren Glover was 24 when he was shot in Henrico, Virginia, on September 15, 2020. Officers responded to reports of gunfire shortly before 2 a.m. in a neighborhood off Hungary Springs Road and found him suffering from gunshot wounds in the 5700 block of Virginia Pine Court. He was taken to a nearby hospital and died of his injuries.

Henrico County detectives identified a suspect and arrested 26-year-old Elijah U. Samuels of Henrico. Samuels was charged with second-degree murder and the use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. Family and community members held a candlelight vigil where Daequon’s relatives urged peace rather than revenge.

Known as DJ, he was a devoted father, son, brother and uncle, a 2015 Highland Springs High School graduate who enjoyed working on cars, telling jokes and playing recreational football. If anyone knew Daequon or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
