On Christmas Eve 2015, 18-year-old Trequan Holmes, also known as Trey, was shot and killed in the 2000 block of North 29th Street in the Creighton Court neighborhood of Richmond, Virginia. Police arrived about 10:02 p.m. and Holmes was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators later tied the killing to local gang activity. Court documents reported that members of the Creighton Court group known as Closed Mouth Gang were involved, and that the shooting was encouraged by an incarcerated gang member who falsely believed a different person had informed police about someone possessing a firearm. In July 2016 authorities arrested 37-year-old Todd W. Jones Sr. in connection with the homicide. Separate charges were filed in March 2016 against Todd W. Jones Jr. for attempted murder and using a firearm in the commission of a felony; those charges were later dropped.

If anyone knew Trequan, witnessed the shooting, or has information about what happened that night, please share what is known.
