On March 1, 2018, 18-year-old Jaleel S. Yates was killed in a drive-by shooting in the 3500 block of Clydewood Avenue in southern Richmond. Officers found Jaleel with life‑threatening injuries at about 11:42 p.m.; he was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arrival. Witnesses described a black sedan fleeing the scene, but no detailed descriptions of occupants or the vehicle have been provided.

Jaleel, a former Huguenot High School student remembered as quiet, polite and funny, was a devoted son and brother. His mother, Jendaihi Coles, successfully petitioned for Huguenot High School to award him a posthumous honorary diploma, and the community raised funds to help with funeral costs. No arrests or publicly announced suspects have been named in the case.

Does anyone who was in the Clydewood Avenue area that night or who has information about a black sedan leaving the scene have details to share?
