On April 8, 2017, 18-year-old Kejuan L. Goode was one of two men found shot to death inside a residence at the Midlothian Village Apartments in the 4000 block of Midlothian Turnpike in Richmond, Virginia. The other victim was 20-year-old Terrell D. Thomas. Both were pronounced dead at the scene.

Richmond police identified and arrested a suspect, 21-year-old Jarmaine T. Free, who was charged with two counts of murder, two counts of use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. At the time the indictments were returned, Free was already in custody on an unrelated matter.

Kejuan’s mother, Dakeshia Goode, described the family’s grief and recalled the last moment she had with her son when he kissed her on the forehead and said he loved her. Anyone who knew Kejuan, Terrell, or who has information about what happened that night is asked to come forward.
