Zacki Rozier was 19 when he was fatally shot on Coalter Street in Richmond, Virginia, on the evening of August 20, 2020. Authorities say his killing is believed to have been retaliatory and connected to an ongoing, escalating gang turf war affecting Richmond and neighboring Henrico County. Investigators link Rozier’s death to the murder of another teenager the day before in the Gilpin Court area, and describe his killing as part of a cycle of vengeance that included further violence.

A repast held to mourn Rozier was reportedly interrupted by another shooting, illustrating how tensions remained high after his death. If anyone knew Zacki, was in the area on August 20, 2020, or has information about the gang activity linked to this violence, please come forward.
