Russell J. Long, 22, was found with a gunshot wound on Richmond’s Northside on May 11, 2018. He was taken to a local hospital but died of his injuries. What began as a death investigation was later treated as a homicide by the Richmond Police Department.

Investigators identified two Richmond residents as suspects: 23-year-old Dorell D. Taylor and 19-year-old Ar-Treyvious D. Williams. Both were arrested within days and charged initially with conspiracy to commit murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. Prosecutors later charged each with first-degree murder in Long’s death. Taylor and Williams were tried and convicted of first-degree murder; both received sentences for their roles in the killing.

Was anyone in the community aware of tensions or threats involving Russell in the weeks before May 11, 2018?
