Albert R. Freeman was 39 when he was fatally shot during a robbery in Petersburg, Virginia, on August 25, 2017. Freeman, who lived in Chesterfield, died after gunfire during what investigators described as a robbery that escalated to murder.

Police arrested a 17-year-old male soon after the killing; his case was handled in the juvenile justice system and details have remained private. Investigators later identified and charged an older suspect, Chauncey Yiell, who was tied to Freeman’s death and to a separate 2019 murder in Hopewell. Yiell was sentenced to nearly 40 years in prison for his role in those crimes.

Anyone who knew Albert Freeman or has information about the robbery-shooting in Petersburg is asked to come forward.
