On the morning of May 15, 2019, 22-year-old William Reed Jr. of Richmond was found in the street in the 1100 block of Floral Avenue in South Richmond after being shot. Emergency responders arrived at about 11:21 a.m.; Reed was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators determined the shooting occurred during a robbery and carjacking. A neighbor reported hearing at least two gunshots before calling authorities.

The Richmond Police Department publicly identified William Reed Jr. as the victim the following day. On June 14, 2019, authorities announced a suspect: 20-year-old Johnathan A. Rose of Chesterfield was located with assistance from Chesterfield Police and the U.S. Marshals Regional Fugitive Task Force; he turned himself in and was arrested on charges including murder, robbery, carjacking and use of a firearm during a felony.

Does anyone have information about the events on Floral Avenue that morning or about Reed’s movements before the incident?
