Joshua A. Grey, a 23-year-old Caucasian man, was shot and killed on September 17, 2018, in Richmond, Virginia after arranging to sell an iPhone through the mobile marketplace app Letgo. The meeting on Mechanicsville Turnpike turned into a botched robbery; Grey ran to a nearby convenience store after being wounded and collapsed there, later dying of his injuries. The shooting occurred the same day as a tornado outbreak in the area.

Two teenagers were arrested in connection with the case. Tyshawn Andrews, 15 at the time, admitted in a plea agreement to pulling the trigger, saying he was forced to do so, and received a 25-year sentence with 10 years suspended, for an active 15-year term. Demeco Pressey-Robertson was acquitted of first-degree murder but convicted of attempted robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery and was sentenced to 20 years. Grey’s family has since advocated for creating safe exchange zones for online marketplace transactions.

If anyone witnessed the meeting on Mechanicsville Turnpike or has information about the robbery, please share what is known.
