James Jimmy T. Bishop, a 54-year-old Caucasian man, was shot and killed while riding his lawnmower outside the Grab-n-Go Convenience Store in the 3800 block of Jefferson Davis Highway in Richmond on the evening of September 19, 2016. The shooting occurred at about 8:53 p.m.; an off-duty police officer inside the store heard yelling, went outside and found Bishop with a gunshot wound to the chest. He was taken to a hospital but died of his injuries.

Bishop was known in the neighborhood as a hardworking, kind man who often rode his lawnmower along Jefferson Davis Highway and helped with tasks like cutting grass. Richmond police asked the public for help from anyone who had been near Castlewood Avenue and Bells Road between 8:30 and 8:50 p.m. that night and who may have seen Bishop on his lawnmower. No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced; the investigation remains open.

Does anyone in the community remember seeing Bishop that evening or have information that could help investigators?
