In the afternoon of Sunday, October 9, 2016, 52-year-old Carmella Diane Winston was sitting in the passenger seat of a parked car in the Gilpin Court area of Richmond, Virginia, when a stray bullet shattered the windshield and struck her in the head. She died later that day. The shooting was described as apparently random, with the bullet likely intended for someone else.

A nearby witness, Kenneth Moore, reported seeing a man on a bicycle fire several shots and later identified George Trevon Watson Scott in a photo lineup. Based on Moore’s eyewitness account, Scott was arrested and charged with second-degree murder. At trial the judge found him guilty and imposed a 40-year sentence with 16 years suspended.

If anyone in Gilpin Court that afternoon or anyone who knew Carmella has information not yet shared with investigators, please come forward.
