On the night of June 17, 2019, 33-year-old Omar T. Green was shot outside the North Avenue Food Market and Deli in Richmond, Virginia. Police were called just before 11 p.m. to the 2300 block of North Avenue and found Green in the parking lot with a life-threatening gunshot wound. He was transported to a local hospital and died later that night, recorded as the city’s 27th homicide that year.

Omar, described by his mother Sheila Hall as humble, family-oriented and always smiling despite mobility issues from diabetes, was reportedly talking with a woman when he was shot in the back. Witnesses saw a male suspect flee the scene wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt and dark pants. Investigators say there have been no arrests and few leads, and the Richmond Police Department has asked the public to contact Crime Stoppers with any information.

Does anyone in the North Avenue neighborhood remember seeing that hooded man or anything unusual that night?
