Jamal W. Ellis was 31 when he was shot in Richmond, Virginia, on the evening of September 22, 2019. Officers found him on the 700 block of Spaine Street with a gunshot wound; he was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arrival. The cause of death was listed as a gunshot wound.

The investigation continued for months. In December 2019 a grand jury returned an indictment charging 25-year-old Trequan D. James in connection with Ellis’s murder; James was already in custody at Riverside Regional Jail on unrelated charges when the indictment was issued.

If anyone has information about Ellis, his activities that evening, or the events on Spaine Street, please share what is known with investigators.
