Christian Singleton was 15 when he was shot and killed in Richmond, Virginia, on the evening of Wednesday, June 7, 2017. He and a 16-year-old friend, Ketron R. Wells, were walking in the 3600 block of Decatur Street just before 10 p.m. when Richmond police responded to reports of random gunfire. Both boys were found lying next to each other in the street with gunshot wounds and were pronounced dead at the scene; Christian was days away from his 16th birthday.

Investigators reviewed surveillance footage that reportedly showed an unidentified man directing the teenagers down the street moments before two other individuals shot them. Christian’s mother had texted him to come home as his curfew approached, a message he would have read shortly before the shooting. The double homicide stunned the community and left two families grieving.

The case later went cold. No arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced, and the Richmond Police Department continues to list the double homicide as an open cold case while urging anyone with information to contact them or Metro Richmond Crime Stoppers. If anyone knew Christian or saw activity near Decatur Street that night, can you share what you remember?
