Timothy B. McMorris, a 50-year-old Black man, was shot and killed on the evening of August 24, 2020, in the 2300 block of Bethel Street in Richmond’s Whitcomb Court neighborhood. Police found McMorris outside a residence after gunfire at about 8:30 p.m.; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Four other people were wounded in the same incident: two adult males who were taken to a hospital by police, and an adult female and a teenage male who were transported privately. Gunfire also damaged three cars and two homes nearby. Investigators said a stolen red vehicle was believed to have been involved, but no suspect descriptions were released.

As of May 2021 the case remained unsolved and no arrests had been announced. Anyone with information about that night or the red vehicle is asked to come forward.
