Nathaniel D. Bankston was 15 when he was fatally shot in Richmond, Virginia, on the evening of April 23, 2020. The shooting occurred about 8:23 p.m. on Redd Street. He was taken to VCU Medical Center with gunshot wounds to his head and other parts of his body and did not survive.

Earlier that night Nathaniel had been at a local convenience store playing video games and eating pizza with a 12-year-old boy. That same 12-year-old was later arrested and charged with first-degree murder, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and possession of a firearm by a juvenile. Because of the suspect’s age, the matter proceeded in the juvenile justice system and officials indicated he was unlikely to be tried as an adult.

Anyone who knew Nathaniel, was in the area that evening, or has information about the events on Redd Street is asked to come forward.
