Aaron James Richardson, 39, was found dead from gunshot wounds in the 3100 block of Kitchener Avenue in Norfolk shortly after midnight on November 29, 2017. Responders who went to what was initially reported as a medical call pronounced him dead at the scene; the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner attributed his death to gunshot wounds and the Norfolk Police Department opened a homicide investigation.

Police were unable to release a suspect description, and investigators urged anyone with information to contact the Norfolk Crime Line. A few days earlier nearby church vandalism involved gunfire but police said they did not believe it was related. Richardson’s family received a roughly 20-second voicemail from an unknown number that they say contains his voice pleading and crying; police said they were working with the family on that potential evidence.

No arrests or public identifications of suspects have been made and the case remains open. If anyone knew Aaron or has information about his death, please contact the Norfolk Crime Line.
